Adjusting the Miter Gauge

Referring to Figure 24:

1. Loosen the lock handle (B) to allow the miter

body (C) to rotate freely. Position the miter

body at 90° so the positive detent secures its

position. Tighten the lock handle (B) to hold the

miter body in position.

2. If the pointer (A) requires adjustment, loosen

the screw under the pointer with a screwdriver.

Adjust the pointer to 90° on the scale, then

firmly tighten the adjustment screw.

To change angles on the miter gauge:

3. Loosen the lock handle (B) and rotate the miter

body to the desired angle as indicated by the

scale. Secure in position by tightening the lock

handle.

Rip Fence Adjustment

Referring to Figure 25:

1. For adjustments, position the fence to the right

of the blade, parallel with the miter gauge slot.

2. Place the rear clamp (A) of the fence on the

back rail of the table, and lower the front end

over the front rail (E). Push the handle (F)

down to lock.

3. To change the position of the fence, lift up on

the handle to unlock, and slide the fence to the

desired position, then push the handle down to

lock.

4. To check the rip fence adjustment, place the

fence along one edge of the miter gauge

groove, and lock the handle. It should be

parallel to the miter groove to provide accurate

cuts.

If an adjustment is needed to make it parallel:

1. Loosen the two hex bolts (C) on the top of the

rip fence, and lift up on the handle (F).

2. Adjust the fence (B) so it is parallel to the miter

gauge slot and lock the handle (F) into position.

3. Make sure the fence (B) is parallel to the slot

and tighten the two hex bolts (C) securely.

4. Unlock the fence handle (F) and slide the fence

left and right, then reposition it against the miter

gauge slot again and lock into position to

double check its alignment.

Failure to properly align the fence can cause

“kickback” and serious injury could occur.

Figure 25

If the fence is loose when the handle is in the

locked position:

1. Move the handle upward to the unlocked

position.

2. Turn the adjusting screw (D) clockwise until the

rear clamp is snug.

3. Do not turn the adjusting screw more than 1/4

turn at a time.

4. Over-tightening the screw will cause the rip

fence to come out of alignment.
