Adjusting the Miter Gauge
Referring to Figure 24:
1. Loosen the lock handle (B) to allow the miter
body (C) to rotate freely. Position the miter
body at 90° so the positive detent secures its
position. Tighten the lock handle (B) to hold the
miter body in position.
2. If the pointer (A) requires adjustment, loosen
the screw under the pointer with a screwdriver.
Adjust the pointer to 90° on the scale, then
firmly tighten the adjustment screw.
To change angles on the miter gauge:
3. Loosen the lock handle (B) and rotate the miter
body to the desired angle as indicated by the
scale. Secure in position by tightening the lock
handle.
Rip Fence Adjustment
Referring to Figure 25:
1. For adjustments, position the fence to the right
of the blade, parallel with the miter gauge slot.
2. Place the rear clamp (A) of the fence on the
back rail of the table, and lower the front end
over the front rail (E). Push the handle (F)
down to lock.
3. To change the position of the fence, lift up on
the handle to unlock, and slide the fence to the
desired position, then push the handle down to
lock.
4. To check the rip fence adjustment, place the
fence along one edge of the miter gauge
groove, and lock the handle. It should be
parallel to the miter groove to provide accurate
cuts.
If an adjustment is needed to make it parallel:
1. Loosen the two hex bolts (C) on the top of the
rip fence, and lift up on the handle (F).
2. Adjust the fence (B) so it is parallel to the miter
gauge slot and lock the handle (F) into position.
3. Make sure the fence (B) is parallel to the slot
and tighten the two hex bolts (C) securely.
4. Unlock the fence handle (F) and slide the fence
left and right, then reposition it against the miter
gauge slot again and lock into position to
double check its alignment.
Failure to properly align the fence can cause
“kickback” and serious injury could occur.

If the fence is loose when the handle is in the
locked position:
1. Move the handle upward to the unlocked
position.
2. Turn the adjusting screw (D) clockwise until the
rear clamp is snug.
3. Do not turn the adjusting screw more than 1/4
turn at a time.
4. Over-tightening the screw will cause the rip
fence to come out of alignment.
