3. Measure accuracy of miter gauge against slot
with a square.
If adjustment is needed:
4. Adjust body (K) until it is square (90º) to miter
slot.
5. Tighten lock handle (H).
6. Verify that scale indicator (L) reads 0º. If it
does not, loosen screw (P) and adjust
indicator (L) until it reads 0º. Retighten screw
(P).
7. If the above procedure does not satisfactorily
align the miter gauge, loosen two screws (R,
Figure 8-3) beneath mounting block and shift
block as needed. Retighten screws when
finished.
Figure 8-3
NOTE: The miter gauge bar has two slots with set
screws (S, Figure 8-2). Adjust these set screws to
eliminate any play between bar and miter slot.
Squaring Miter Gauge (model
PM3000BT):
1. Place a square against miter gauge face, and
against flat of blade. (Place square against flat
of blade, not against the teeth which are set
wider than the blade body).
2. Loosen screws A and B as shown in Figure 8-
3C.
3. Adjust the miter gauge fence to make it square
to the blade. Tighten screws A and B.
4. After squaring, if the red pointer (C) is not
pointing at 0°, loosen the pointer setscrew (see
Figure 8-3B), rotate the pointer to 0°, and re-
tighten the pointer setscrew.
Figure 8-3B
Adjusting Miter Gauge Angle for
Operations (model PM3000BT, refer to
Figure 8-3C):
1. Unscrew handle (D) just enough to loosen it.
2. Press black tab (E) to release it from stop 0°.
3. Rotate gauge body until red pointer (C) lines
up with desired angle on scale.
4. Tighten handle (D).
5. There are 13 stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°,
60°, and 67.5° left and right. Each of these can
be adjusted to by allowing the spring stop to
lock into each location. Press black tab (E) to
move past each stop location.

8.5 Blade Tilt Stop Adjustment
The stops for 90°, 45° blade tilt, and elevation
settings have all been factory set, and should
require no immediate adjustment. The settings
should be confirmed by the operator, however, and
especially if cuts become inaccurate. Both tilt stops
are located on the trunnion.
