Operation of Slide Table
1. Install miter gauge in "T" slot in slide table in desired
location and angle. Adjust miter gauge fence approxi-
mately 1" from blade.
2. Tighten miter gauge lock knob on left side of slide table.
3. Move slide table toward operator and ensure that work
piece will clear blade. Cycle slide table and ensure that
end of miter gauge fence goes past blade centerline
and does not contact blade or blade guard.
4. Move slide table toward operator, place work piece on
slide table. Engage hold down clamp if needed. If using
flip stop, hold piece securely against flip stop and miter
gauge fence. Keep hold down clamp centered over
miter gauge bar. Do not overtighten clamp.
5. Turn on saw. Push slide table and work piece through
blade. Do not stand directly behind blade.
6. Turn off saw. Remove work piece. Return slide table to
home position.
Adjust the rear fence glide
If necessary, adjust the rear glide to locate it correctly
against the rear rail by loosening the two screws which
secure it to the fence beam. The plastic retaining clip
should be deflected somewhat when the glide is posi-
tioned correctly. This adjustment should only be neces-
sary if the rear rail has been relocated by the addition of
an optional accessory.
