Checking/Setting 90° Stops

2. Slide the miter gauge into the T-slot on the
table.
3. Loosen the miter gauge lock knob, pull out
the positive stop knob, then pivot the miter

the miter gauge and the blade, as shown in

Blade
— If the square does not touch the miter body
and blade body evenly at the same time,
then proceed to Step 5.
5. Loosen the button head cap screws on the
positive stop knob block (see Figure 124),
adjust the miter body until it is flush with the
square, then tighten the screws.

body.
— If the square touches the miter body and
the body of the blade (not the teeth) evenly
at the same time, then it is square to the
blade and the 90° stop is set correctly. No
further adjustments are necessary.
6. Loosen the screw on the front of the miter
bar, adjust the pointer to 0°, then tighten the
screw.
Adjusting Miter Bar Tightness
The miter bar can be adjusted so it fits more
tightly in the miter slot.
To adjust the miter bar tightness:
1. Loosen the cap screw on each guide block
(Figure 125), adjust the set screws as need-
ed, then tighten the cap screw.
