OPERATION TO USE THE MITER GAUGE See Figure 33. The miter gauge provides greater accuracy in angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended. There are two miter gauge grooves, one on either side of the blade. When making a 90° cross cut, you can use either miter gauge groove. When making a beveled cross cut (the blade tilted in relation to the table) the miter gauge should be located in the groove on the right so that the blade is tilted away from the miter gauge and your hands. The miter gauge can be turned 60° to the right or left. Loosen the lock knob. With the miter gauge in the miter gauge groove, rotate the gauge until the desired angle is reached on the scale. Retighten the lock knob. TO USE THE SLIDING TABLE EXTENSION See Figure 34. Increase the length of the saw table by using the table extension. Set the rip fence to 14 in. WARNING: The rip fence must be locked in the 14 in. position to ensure the accuracy of the secondary scale measurement and to provide proper support of the workpiece when using the table in the extended position. Failure to position the rip fence correctly will cause inaccurate workpiece measurements and could result in serious personal injury. Pull the front table locking lever toward you to unlock the lever. Repeat with the back lever. Slide the table extension to the desired width. NOTE: Use the scale on the front rail when a specific width is desired. Once the extension table are set to the desired width, relock the front and back locking levers by pushing the levers back towards the saw base. TO USE THE OUTFEED SUPPORT See Figure 35. The outfeed support slides to give the operator additional support for cutting long workpieces. With the table saw in the OFF position, stand behind the saw. Grasp the outfeed support with both hands and pull it until it is fully extended.
