To Adjust The Miter Gauge

Page 40 highlights

ADJUSTMENTS If blade is not 45º to the table:  Loosen 45º stop screw until it is even with the top of the saw table using a hex key.  Release the bevel locking lever and position the bevel adjusting handwheel until blade is 45º to the table. Lock the bevel locking lever.  Screw the 45º stop screw until the saw blade starts to move. Check again for squareness and readjust if needed.  Check bevel indicator.  If indicator is not pointing to the 45º mark on the bevel scale, loosen the indicator adjusting screw and adjust indicator.  Retighten screw. TO ADJUST THE MITER GAUGE See Figures 61 - 62. You can set the miter gauge at 0º and plus or minus 45º with the miter gauge stop pin and adjustable stop screws. NOTE: The miter gauge provides close accuracy in angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended. To adjust stop screws:  Loosen the lock knob and pull out on stop pin to rotate miter gauge base past stop screws.  Loosen the lock nut of the 0º stop screw at the stop pin with a wrench.  Place a 90º square against the miter gauge rod and the miter gauge base.  If the rod is not square, loosen the lock knob, adjust the rod, and retighten the knob.  Adjust the stop screw until it rests against the stop pin and tighten lock nut. To adjust miter gauge base: The miter gauge base should swivel smoothly on the bar after the knob is loosened. If adjustment is required:  Loosen the lock knob.  Loosen set screw.  If the base is too loose, turn the phillips head screw in a clockwise direction. If the base is too tight, turn the flat head screw in a counterclockwise direction.  Retighten set screw. 45˚ STOP SCREW MITER GAUGE ROD 0° ADJUSTABLE STOP SCREW Fig. 60 LOCK KNOB MITER GAUGE BASE 45° ADJUSTABLE STOP SCREW LOCK NUT FLAT HEAD SCREW STOP PIN Fig. 61 SET SCREW 40 Fig. 62

TO ADJUST THE MITER GAUGE
See Figures 61 - 62.
You can set the miter gauge at 0º and plus or minus 45º
with the miter gauge stop pin and adjustable stop screws.
NOTE:
The miter gauge provides close accuracy in angled
cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.
To adjust stop screws:
Loosen the lock knob and pull out on stop pin to rotate
miter gauge base past stop screws.
Loosen the lock nut of the 0º stop screw at the stop pin
with a wrench.
Place a 90º square against the miter gauge rod and the
miter gauge base.
If the rod is not square, loosen the lock knob, adjust the
rod, and retighten the knob.
Adjust the stop screw until it rests against the stop pin
and tighten lock nut.
To adjust miter gauge base:
The miter gauge base should swivel smoothly on the bar
after the knob is loosened. If adjustment is required:
Loosen the lock knob.
Loosen set screw.
If the base is too loose, turn the phillips head screw in a
clockwise direction. If the base is too tight, turn the flat
head screw in a counterclockwise direction.
