workpiece. If the workpiecs should be putisd back toward
the operator, the teeth dlg intothe wood to help prevent
or reduce the possibility of kickback.

ATI'ACHMEN'T The square relationshipbetween the blade and the miter

rear of the miter table base duringa cut is very important
for m_ng preciseand accurate cuts.The slidingmiter

LOCATOR
PiN
To avoid unnecessarysetups arid ad.iuatments,we
suggest that you check these setups carefullywith a framing square and make practicecuts in scrap wood before
making finishcuts in good workpisces.
NOTE: Followthe general rule of measuring twice and
cutting
once.
TABLE
SLOT
Do not loosen any screws. Once screws have been loosened, settings must be reset.
Fig. 20
Two basic checks should be made before using the miter
table"(1) the miter base must be parallelto the blade as
the table slides fTomthe front to back, and (2) the miter
fence must be squareto the blade when set at exactly
zero (0") on the rafter table scats.

TO LOCK SLIDING MITER TABLE
See Flours21.
The miter table elides allowing the operatorto elide the
workplsce across the saw, A miter slide lock is mounted
on the front of the miter table to lock it in place. The miter
slide lock is placed in a slot on the base to align the miter
tabla with the h'ont edge of the saw table. The sliding
miter table shouldbe locked for any cut in which the
operator prefersa fixed table.

NOT_ The miter tablehas adjus_ant screws for squaring miter fence tc blade and maintaining0 ° scale settings
when miter base adjustments are rsc,uired.These checks
and adjus't_entsare exp_ined in step-by-step procedures

TO USE THE MITER GAUGE
See F=Jgure

The miter gauge providesgreater accuracy in angHd cuts.
For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.
Them are two miter gauge channels, one on either side
of the blade. When maldng a 90 ° cross cut, you can use
either miter gauge channel. When making a beveled cross
cut (the blade tilted in relationto the table) the miter gauge
sheutd be located in the slot on the right so that the blade
is tilted away from the miter gauge and your hands.
