screw and press the trunnion stop pointer into the recess; tighten the screw. To check accuracy of miter gauge, lock it in the 90°
position. Place it in right hand miter slot. Square the face of miter gauge with left hand miter slot using a carpenter's square.

For crosscutting with the miter gauge, use the extension as a work rest. In
making angle or miter cuts, be sure thumb screw lock on miter gauge is
locked securely, and it is advisable to "trail the work" into the saw blade.
To accommodate cross-cutting of extra wide work pieces, a front-table
extension is available as an accessory. For ripping work beyond the
capacity of the table, such as ripping a large panel
can be attached to the table extension.
Note that the table extension and tailstock fit on either end of the tubular
ways. When applied to the left or motor end, the greatest effective table
area will be obtained.
CAUTION:
spindle when the machine is not in use.
When using the circular saw, always use "push sticks" to feed work close
to the blade. Keep a set of such sticks in different widths where they will be
easily available. Always use the saw guard; it will slide smoothly over the
work and protect the operator. Re-check to see that carriage lever and
knobs are tight before starting the saw.
Rotate the saw by hand, to check clearances before turning on the motor.
SAW ADJUSTMENTS - Miter-gauge slots on the saw table should be parallel
to the saw blade; otherwise a true right-angle cannot be cut. Check by very
carefully measuring the distance between the miter gauge and one tooth of
the saw blade; then turn the blade to the opposite side and measure
between the same tooth and the miter gauge. (The miter gauge stop-rod
provides a simple and accurate means of making this measurement.) If the
distance is not the same at front and back, the table must be "revolved."
To do this, loosen the four bolts underneath the table that hold it to the
trunnion and table bearing. There is sufficient "play" to permit any
adjustment the table might require. When alignment has been checked,
tighten bolts.
To set trunnion stops, square the table to the sanding disc with a
carpenter's square; tighten the trunnion wrench. Loosen the trunnion stop
