Refer to Figures 37-38.
The miter gauge provides greater accuracy in angled cuts. For
very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.
There are
two miter gauge channels, one on either side of the blade. When
making a 90 ° crosscut, use either miter gauge channel. When
making a bevel crosscut (the blade tilted in relation to the table),
the miter gauge should be located in the slot on the right so that
the blade is tilted away from the miter gauge and away from
your hands. The miter gauge can be turned 60 ° to the right or
lefts Positive stops at 0°_ 22.5° and 45 ° can be located with
rotating the gauge. Face of miter gauge
has two holes for
purpose of attaching auxiliary facing.
