Adjusting The Miter Gauge - SawStop PCS175 Owner's Manual

Making Adjustments to Your Saw

Adjusting the Miter Gauge

The miter gauge bar includes three spring bearings which ensure a close fi t between the miter gauge main bar
and the miter gauge slots in the table. The bearings can be adjusted to protrude further outward from the side
of the main bar to tighten the fi t between the main bar and the miter slots. Alternatively, the bearings can be
adjusted inward to loosen the fi t. To adjust the position of the spring bearings, insert a 2.5 mm hex wrench into
the back of the bearing as shown in Fig. 122. Turn the wrench clockwise to tighten the fi t, or counter-clockwise
to loosen the fi t.

bottom of the miter gauge head and turn the set
screw counter-clockwise several turns (see
Fig. 123). Place the miter gauge in either the left
or right miter slot, and set a combination square
to the desired angle (e.g., -45°, 0°, or +45°).
Position one leg of the square flush against the
blade and rotate the miter gauge head until it is
flush against the other leg of the square.
Next, turn the handle clockwise until tight to
lock the miter gauge head at the correct angle.
Make sure the indexing pin is pressed in toward
the miter gauge bar, then turn the set screw
clockwise until it hits against the indexing pin.
