RIP FENCE INDICATOR ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 19)
1. The rip fence indicator (6) points to the measurement scale.
The scale shows the distance from the side of the fence to
nearest side of the blade.
2. Measure the actual distance with a rule. If there is a
difference between the measurement and the indicator,
adjust the indicator (6).

and slide
the indicator

MITER GAUGE
A miter gauge is supplied with your table saw to be used in
the table slot on the each side of the blade. The miter gauge
can be adjusted from 90° to 30° right or left to maintain an
accurate angle for your workpiece.
ADJUSTING THE MITER GAUGE (Fig. 20)
1. Loosen the lock handle (1) to allow the miter body (2) to
rotate freely. Position the miter body at 90° so the positive
detent secures its position. Tighten the lock handle to hold
the miter body in position.
2. If the pointer (3) requires adjustment, loosen the screw
under the pointer with a screwdriver. Adjust the pointer to
90° on the scale, then firmly tighten the adjustment screw.
3. To change angles on the miter
gauge, loosen the lock handle
(1) and rotate the miter body
to the desired angle as
indicated by the scale. Secure
in position by tightening
the lock handle.

ADJUSTING THE 90° AND 45° POSITIVE STOPS
(Fig. 22, 23)
Fig. 19
Your saw has positive stops that will quickly position the saw
blade at 90° and 45° to the table. Make adjustments only if
necessary.
90° Stop
1. Disconnect the saw from the power source.
2. Raise the blade to the maximum elevation.
3. Loosen the blade bevel lock handle and move the blade to
the maximum vertical position and tighten the bevel lock
handle.
4. Place a combination square on the table and against the
blade (1) to determine if the blade is 90° to the table.
