The alignment is maintained by a spring underneath
the fence which bears against the front guide bar.
TO movethe fence, loosen the lock handle and grasp
the fence with one hand at the front.

For very close adjustments, grasp theguide bar with

both hands and move the fence with your thumbs.

SELF ALIGNING ADJUSTMENT

Place fence on saw but DO NOT LOCK IT.

accuracy for average woodworking. In some cases
where extreme accuracy is required, when making \

angle cuts, for example, make a trial cut and then \

recheck it with an accurate square, or protractor.

If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled
slightly to compensate for any inaccuracy.
NOTE: The space between the miter gauge barand
the groove in the table is held to a minimum during
manufacturing

For maximum accuracy when using the miter PER

gauge, always "favor" one sade of the groove in the
table. In other words, don't move the miter gauge
from side to side while cutting, but keep one side of
the bar riding against one side of the groove.
NOTE: Glue a piece of sandpaoer to the face of the
miter gauge head. This will help prevent the
workpiece from "creeping" while it is being cut.

GAUGE GROOVE
While cutting, the material must move in a straight
line PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE... therefore both
the miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must
be PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE,
If the sawblade IS NOT parallel to the miter gauge
groove, the blade will bind at one end of the cut.
(This is known as "HEELING"),
