ROUTING USING THE MITER GAUGE
Your miter gauge will serve as a handy aid when
extra support is needed for routing the ends of
workpieces.
The miter gauges from most stationary table saws
can be used with this router table.
ALWAYS CHECK THE FIT OF THESE MITER
GAUGES IN THE ROUTER TABLE MITER SLOT,
TO ENSURE THAT THE MITER GAUGE MOVES
EASILY IN THE SLOT FOR THE FULL LENGTH
OF THE ROUTER TABLE. IF IT DOES NOT, USE
THE MITER GAUGE THAT COMES WITH THE
ROUTER TABLE.
NOTE: For ALL routing operations requiring the use
of the miter gauge with the fence, BE SURE to align
the fence with the miter gauge slot in the router table
before making any cuts. Refer to the section
"INSTALLING AND ALIGNING THE FENCE".
Miters can be cut by loosening the knob on the
protractor head, turning the protractor head up to
60 ° in either direction and retightening the protractor
head knob.
I, WA"N'"GI
• The GUARD MUST BE DOWN in the
