TO ADJUST QUICK-STOP
See Figure 28.
The quick-stop is preset at the factory to stop the miter
fence at exactly 0°. However, when sliding miter table
adjustments are made, these adjustments may cause the
quick-stop to need adjusting. Check quick-stop with miter
scale set at 0°. If adjustments are needed, proceed with
the following steps:
n Loosen the eccentric screw holding the quick-stop.
n Place the quick-stop against the miter fence with miter
scale set at 0°.
n Adjust eccentric screw until it holds quick-stop
securely against miter fence.
n Retighten hex nut, securing eccentric screw and quick-
stop.
n Check your work. If the quick-stop is not at zero
degrees, repeat above steps.
