Adjusting the Miter Gauge

The miter gauge includes indexing stops to allow
you to quickly set the gauge to -45°, 0°, and +45°.
If necessary, you can adjust these indexing stops
to increase the precision of your miter cuts.

Next, for the indexing stop you want to adjust, loosen the corresponding hex nut on the bottom of the miter
gauge head and turn the stop adjustment screw counter-clockwise several turns (see Fig. 101). Place the miter
gauge in either the left or right miter slot, and set a combination square to the desired angle (e.g., -45°, 0°, or
+45°). Position one leg of the square flush against the blade and rotate the miter gauge head until it is flush
against the other leg of the square.
