Safety Guidelines Safety Guidelines To avoid injury, never adjust saw fence, drop stop, jig, fixture, or miter gauge while saw is running. Make sure blade comes to a complete stop before removing or securing workpiece, changing workpiece angle or changing the angle of the blade. Ground all tools.
If your saw has a t-slot that uses a different washer, remove the washer from the miter gauge that came with the saw. Install the washer on the Kreg Precision Miter Gauge bar using the screw pro- FT4057 vided with the Kreg Precision Miter Gauge.
Setting-up the Miter Gauge 5) Keep repeating this process until the fit is correct. Remember, you want the plug to just “kiss” the miter bar slot without exerting any pressure. 6) When the first plug is adjusted correctly, slide the bar backwards to expose the second adjuster &...

Setting-up the Miter Gauge Fine-tune the cursor setting by moving the miter gauge back to 0 deg. Then move the stop in about an inch and cut a board to length. Measure the cut board. Without moving the stop or the fence settings, loosen the cursor and adjust it to read this exact measurement.
The Kreg Precision Miter Gauge has preset holes drilled at 0 deg., 10 Diamonds - There are diamonds every 5 degrees. The diamonds deg., 22.5 deg., 30 deg., and 45 deg.
Setting the Cutting Angle Setting the Angle using the Scale To set an angle that is not preset, you need to use the scales. Just loosen the handle, line the desired angle up with the 0 mark on the Vernier side of the scale, and tighten the handle. 8 degree setting in example at right.
Resetting the Vernier Scale The Vernier scale is set at the factory. However, if you knock it out of alignment, it can be easily reset. For the Vernier scale to read accurately, it needs to be both accurately aligned and correctly spaced from the degree scale on the miter gauge head.
Micro-Adjust Feature Reality Check Before taking the time to set the micro-adjust, do a reality check to see if the 1/100 deg. will really show. 1/100 deg. is a very fine adjust- ment and is seldom necessary on most woodworking projects. 1/100 deg.
Micro-Adjust Feature Design Note Fence Extrusion The micro-adjust is designed so that the nylon screws line up with T-Slot the t-track slot. You have to turn the nylon screws a long way before they actually engage the auxiliary fence and start to change the angle.
