MITER GAUGE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
The miter gauge is equipped with adjustable index stops at 90°, 75°, 60°, 45° and 30°.
To rotate the miter gauge, loosen lock knob (A) Fig. 43, push the thumb lever (B) down and move the body of the miter gauge
(C) to the desired angle.
The miter gauge is equipped with a washer (D) Fig. 44 which fits into the T-Slot groove (E) in the table. This allows the miter
gauge to be pulled off the front edge of the table without falling. This allows for a longer cut-off capacity in front of the
blade.
