PREPARING TO CUT
The miter gauge is equipped with adjustable index stops at
90°, 75°, 60°, 45° and 30°. To set the miter for an angled cut,
see Figure 25 and:
1.
Loosen the handle (A).
2.
Depress the thumb lever (B).
3.
Move the body of the miter gauge to the desired angle
maximum 30° on either side.
4.
Release the thumb lever and retighten the handle.
The miter gauge is equipped with a washer on the end of the
bar which fits into the t-slot in the table. This allows the miter
gauge to be pulled off the front edge of the table without
falling. This allows for an increased workpiece capacity in front
of the blade.
USING BLADE GUARD
ASSEMBLY
The anti-kickback pawls and blade guard
must be used or all through-cuts. Keep both
guard shields down and arms, hands and fingers away from
the blade, blade guard and anti-kickback pawls when power
is on to prevent serious injury. See assembly instructions on
page 13 for proper installation and removal of anti-kickback
pawls and blade guard.
If there is a need to briefly raise the blade guard (for example,
to make a measurement) the guard can be parked in a raised
position.
1.
Refer to Figure 26 and, lifting the guard from the
front, raise the guard shield until it snaps into a locked
position above the table. One or both guard shields can
be raised.
2.
When done making the measurement, return guard to
operating position.
CHECKING FENCE ALIGNMENT
Do not attempt to use a rip fence that is not
properly aligned.
Every time you use the rip fence, check its alignment to
make sure the fence is parallel to the miter slot. To check the
alignment of your rip fence, place the fence adjacent to miter
slot and lock the fence in place. If the fence is not aligned to
the miter slot from the front to the back, see instructions for
aligning rip fence on page 31 of this manual. If you are not
able to successfully align the rip fence, replace the rip fence or
contact 1-800-223-7278 for further instructions.

USING THE MITER GAUGE
TO MOVE SAW
NOTE: Make sure the saw is off the blade is completely still,
and the fence is placed in storage before attempting to move
the saw.
To move saw step down on pivot pedal (8), place hands on
each fence rail, and move saw to desired location. Lift the
pivot pedal up after the saw is moved to desired location.
