Eight screws ere visible on the miter base (B). • Four screws (k")o_eon the holderplates and secure these plates to the rails. It is not necessaryto loosen or adjust these screws for this adjustment procedure. • Another pair of screws (L)is in the base, at the rear. Loosen these two screws(I-) end the rear miter (ocking o[amps (M). • The last paZrof screws is located on the infesdside of the base. Loosen the left screw (N) only, • The right screw (O) will be used as a pivot point.
