Basic Saw Operations
Miter Detent Override
The miter detent override feature allows the detent
action to be locked out, allowing for micro adjust-
ments at any miter angle. When the desired miter
angle is to close to a standard mitering angle that
has a detent slot, this feature prevents the wedge
on the miter arm from slipping into the detent slot
on the base.
1. Lift and hold the miter detent lever (under base
arm).
2. Push the detent override clip forward and latch
in place over edge. Release miter detent lever
(Figure 24).
3. Move miter arm to any position on the miter
scale.
4. Lock the miter lock knob to retain miter position.
To Disengage:
5. Loosen miter lock knob and lift the miter detent
lever to release the detent override clip. The
clip should automatically disengage and the
