Miter Gauge

NOTE: The graduations are manufactured to very close
tolerances which provide ample accuracy for fine wood-
working. In some cases where extreme accuracy is
required, when making angle cuts, for example, make a
trial cut and then recheck it.
There are adjustable screw stops for the stop pin at 0°
and 45° right and left positions for conveniently setting
the miter gauge to cut miters at these standard angles.
Adjusting Stop Screws
A. Loosen lock nut of screw for 0° stop.
B. Place 90° square against the miter gauge bar and
the face of the miter gauge head.
C. If adjustment is needed loosen handle of miter
gauge. Adjust miter gauge head flush to square.
Tighten lock knob.
D. Adjust stop screw until it rests against the stop pin
and tighten lock nut.
E. Adjust 45°, left and right using a 45° triangle or a
protractor of a square using the above procedure.
The miter gauge head should swivel smoothly on the bar
after the knob is loosened. To adjust this swivel move-
ment:
A. Loosen the knob.
B. Loosen set screw with a 2.5mm hex wrench.
C. If the head is too loose turn the flathead screw in a
clockwise direction.
If the head is too tight and will not swivel smoothly
turn the flathead screw counterclockwise.
D. Tighten set screw.
