Making Adjustments to Your Saw
10. Adjusting the Miter Gauge:
The miter gauge bar includes three spring bearings which ensure a close t between the miter gauge bar and
the miter gauge slots in the table. The bearings can be adjusted to protrude further outward from the side of
the bar to tighten the t between the bar and the miter slots. Alternatively, the bearings can be adjusted inward
to loosen the t. To adjust the position
of the spring bearings, insert a 2.5 mm
hex wrench into the back of the bearing
as shown in Fig. 76. Turn the wrench
clockwise to tighten the t, or counter-
clockwise to loosen the t.
The miter gauge also includes indexing
stops to allow you to quickly set the
gauge to -45°, 0°, and +45°. If necessary,
you can adjust these indexing stops
to increase the precision of your miter
cuts.
To begin, loosen the miter gauge head
by turning the locking handle counter-
clockwise about
1
/ 2 turn (see Fig. 76).
Next, for the indexing stop you want to adjust, loosen the corresponding locking nut and turn the set screw
counter-clockwise several turns (see Fig. 77). Place the miter gauge in either the left or right miter slot, and set
a combination square to the desired angle (e.g., -45°, 0°, or +45°). Position one leg of the square flush against
the blade and rotate the miter gauge head until it is flush against the other leg of the square.
Next, turn the handle clockwise until it is
tight to lock the miter gauge head at the
correct angle. Make sure the indexing
pin is pressed in toward the miter gauge
bar, then turn the set screw clockwise
until it hits against the indexing pin.
Finally, tighten the locking nut to prevent
the set screw from moving.
Repeat the above process for the other
indexing stops if desired.
