3 Safety Guidelines Safety Guidelines To avoid injury, never adjust saw fence, drop stop, jig, fixture, or miter gauge while saw is running. Make sure blade comes to a complete stop before removing or securing workpiece, changing workpiece angle or changing the angle of the blade. Ground all tools. If tool is equipped with three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle.

Setting-up the Miter Gauge Install the T-Slot Washer Optional: If your table saw has a t-slot style miter slot, you may choose to install the washer on the end of your bar. Some people like the washer, some don’t. It’s your choice if you install it. Use the supplied screw to tightly attach the washer to the end of your miter gauge. FT4002 Tip If your saw has a t-slot that uses a different washer, remove the washer from the miter gauge that came with the saw.
7 Setting-up the Miter Gauge 5) Keep repeating this process until the fit is correct. Remember, you want the plug to just “kiss” the miter bar slot without exerting any pressure. 6) When the first plug is adjusted correctly, slide the bar backwards to expose the second adjuster & repeat the process described above. 7) To adjust the third, fourth and fifth plugs it is easier to slide the miter gauge forward off the front of the saw.
Setting-up the Miter Gauge 8 Install the scale 1) Make sure Auxiliary fence is clean & free of dirt & oil. 2) Begin peeling back the paper backing on the scale. Place the 1” mark on the end of the fence closest to the blade and stick the scale down. The exact placement of the 1” mark is not critical. You will adjust the scale later so that it reads accurately. 3) Cut the excess tape off at this time with a scissors or bend back 180 degrees and snap off.
9 Setting-up the Miter Gauge 8) Fine-tune the cursor setting by moving the miter gauge back to 0 deg. Then move the stop in about an inch and cut a board to length. Measure the cut board. 9) Without moving the stop or the fence settings, loosen the cursor and adjust it to read this exact measurement. 10) Set the Positioning Stop tight against the right edge of the miter gauge head. The Positioning Stop allows you instantly return the fence to it’s zero point where the scale reads accurately.
Setting-up the Miter Gauge The KREG Precision Miter Gauge offers two options for setting the cutting angle. You can either use one of the preset holes or use the scales. Using the Preset Holes Most of the time when you use a miter gauge you are cutting one of just a few different angles. Frankly, you will use it to cut a 90 deg. on a board a lot more than anything else. Therefore it is important that you can quickly and accurately set your miter gauge to these commonly used angles.
11 Setting the Cutting Angle Setting the Angle using the Scale To set an angle that is not preset, you need to use the scales. Just loosen the handle, line the desired angle up with the 0 mark on the Vernier side of the scale, and tighten the handle. 8 degree setting in example at right. Using the Vernier Scale Occasionally you will need to set the angle to the nearest 1/10 deg. The Vernier scale lets you do that quickly and accurately. Each black line represents 1/10 deg.
Resetting the Vernier Scale The Vernier scale is set at the factory. However, if you knock it out of alignment, it can be easily reset. For the Vernier scale to read accurately, it needs to be both accurately aligned and correctly spaced from the degree scale on the miter gauge head. Here’s how to do it yourself. 1) You will need a 5/32” Allen wrench and a 0.005” shim to correctly space the Vernier scale. Standard 20 lb copy machine paper measures close enough to 0.005” to work as our shim.
13 Micro-Adjust Feature Reality Check Before taking the time to set the micro-adjust, do a reality check to see if the 1/100 deg. will really show. 1/100 deg. is a very fine adjustment and is seldom necessary on most woodworking projects. 1/100 deg. is only a 0.001” gap over a 5.7” length of cut. Example #1: 7 Sided Jewelry Box The angle you need for a seven sided box is 25.71 deg. The sides of the box are 1/2” thick. Micro-Adjusting for the 1/100 deg. would eliminate a gap of less than 1/10,000.
Micro-Adjust Feature Design Note 14 Fence Extrusion T-Slot The micro-adjust is designed so that the nylon screws line up with the t-track slot. You have to turn the nylon screws a long way before they actually engage the auxiliary fence and start to change the angle. This design minimizes the chances you will accidentally add an adjustment to the angle you are setting. When using the micro-adjust, it is much easier to set your angle on the left side of the scale, as pictured above.
