Miter Gauge

NOTE: The graduations are manufac-
tured to very close tolerances which pro-
vide ample accuracy for fine
woodworking. In some cases where
extreme accuracy is required, when mak-
ing 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 posi-
tions 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 han-
dle 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 loos-
ened. To adjust this swivel movement:
A. Loosen the knob.
B. Loosen set screw with a 2.5mm hex
wrench.
C. If the head is too loose turn the flat-
head 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.
