TO USE THE MITER GAUGE
See Figure 31.
The miter gauge provides greater accuracy in angled cuts.
For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.
There are two miter gauge grooves, one on either side
of the blade. When making a 90 ° cross cut, you can use
either miter gauge groove. When making a beveled cross
cut (the blade tilted in relation to the table) the miter gauge
should be located in the groove on the right so that the
blade is tilted away from the miter gauge and your hands.
The miter gauge can be turned 60 ° to the right or left.
[] Loosen the lock knob.
[] With the miter gauge in the miter gauge groove, rotate
the gauge until the desired angle is reached on the
scale.
[] Retighten the lock knob.

TO USE THE MITER GAUGE IN A REVERSE
POSITION
See Figure 32.
For larger workpieces, the miter gauge can be reversed in
the miter gauge grooves. It will be necessary when revers-
ing the miter gauge to clamp the workpiece to the miter
gauge body.
