TO LOCK SLIDING MITER TABLE
See Figure 27.
The miter table slides allowing the operator to slide the
workpiece across the saw. A miter slide lock is mounted
on the front of the miter table to lock it in place. The miter
slide lock is placed in a slot on the base to align the miter
table with the front edge of the saw table. The sliding
miter table should be locked for any cut in which the
operator prefers a fixed table.
[] To lock the miter table with the base projecting to the
front, place miter slide lock in the back slot on the
base.

TO CHECK SLIDING MITER TABLE ASSEMBLY
The square relationship between the blade and the miter
fence as it travels the entire distance from the front to the
rear of the miter table base during a cut is very important
for making precise and accurate cuts. The sliding miter
table assembly has been preset at the factory. However,
misalignment during shipping or requirements for very
precise and accurate cuts may require realignment.
To avoid unnecessary setups and adjustments, we
suggest that you check these setups carefully with a fram-
ing square and make practice cuts in scrap wood before
making finish cuts in good workpieces.
NOTE: Follow the general rule of measuring twice and
cutting once.
Do not loosen any screws. Once screws have been loos-
ened, settings must be reset.
Two basic checks should be made before using the miter
table: (1) the miter base must be parallel to the blade as
the table slides from the front to back, and (2) the miter
fence must be square to the blade when set at exactly
zero (0°) on the miter table scale.
NOTE: The miter table has adjustment screws for squar-
ing miter fence to blade and maintaining 0 ° scale settings
when miter base adjustments are required. These checks
and adjustments are explained in step-by-step proce-
dures in the Operation section and depend on each other.
