▶ Using Miter Detent System

1. Loosen the miter lock knob about 1/2 turn.
2. Grip the lock knob, and then reach down
with your index finger to pull up on the
miter detent lever – pull lever until it is out
from the detent plate.
3. While gripping the lock knob and lever,
rotate the saw's table. Stop table rotation
at the desired angle as indicated by the
miter scale pointer.
4. Release the lever into a detent in the detent
plate or at an angle between detents. If
close to a detent, use the detent override
feature.
5. Tighten the miter lock knob before cutting.

▶ Miter Detent Override

The miter detent override system locks out
the automatic detent action. When the
desired miter angle is close to a standard
detent slot, this feature will hold the detent
lever wedge from engagement (i.e., the user
wants to be at 44-1/2°, but detent wedge
wants to pop into the 45° detent). When the
detent override is used, the detent system is
disabled and the table will move smoothly to
any position within its range.
