Setting the miter gauge angle
Referring to Figure 14:
The precision miter gauge has a rack and pinion
adjustment for setting the angle. To operate:

on the table top.
2. Loosen lock handle (A).
To adjust the body (B) of the miter gauge to the
desired angle:
3. Pull the spring-loaded knob (C) out and turn
until the body (B) of the miter gauge is at the
desired angle as indicated on the scale.
4. Tighten the lock handle (A).
Indent settings
There are indents at the 0º, 30º and 45º right
and left positions. At these settings, release the
knob (C) to engage the stop rod. Then tighten
the lock handle (A).
Note: Do not rely solely on the indents for an
accurate setting. After the stop rod engages at
the 0º, 30º and 45º positions, make a fine
adjustment with the knob (C), if necessary,
setting it against the scale indicator.
