Precision Miter Gauge

Setting the miter gauge angle

Referring to Figure 15:

The precision miter gauge has a rack and pinion

adjustment for setting the angle. To operate:

1. Slide the miter gauge into one of the slots on

the table top.

2. Loosen lock handle (A).

To adjust the body (B) of the miter gauge to the

desired angle:

3. Pull the spring-loaded knob (C) out and turn

until the body (B) of the miter gauge is at the

desired angle as indicated on the scale.

4. Tighten the lock handle (A).

Indent settings

There are indents at the 0º, 30º and 45º right and

left positions. At these settings, release the

knob (C) to engage the stop rod. Then tighten the

lock handle (A).

Note: Do not rely solely on the indents for an

accurate setting. After the stop rod engages at the

0º, 30º and 45º positions, make a fine adjustment

with the knob (C), if necessary, setting it against

the scale indicator.

Extension plate

The extension plate (D) can be adjusted by sliding

to the right or left or removed entirely.

To adjust – loosen two lock handles (E), position

the extension plate and tighten the lock handles.

To remove – slide the extension plate completely

off and remove the lock handles (E) and mounting

hardware.

Calibrating the miter gauge

1. Place the miter gauge in one of the slots (H) on

the table top.

2. Set the miter gauge to 90º (0º setting on the

scale) by loosening the lock handle (A), then

pulling the spring-loaded knob (C) out and

turning the body (B) until 0º is indicated on the

scale (F).

3. Measure the accuracy of the gauge against the

slot with a combination square.

If adjustment is necessary:

4. Adjust the body (B) until it is perfectly square

(90º) to the miter slot (H).

5. Tighten the lock handle (A).

Verify that the scale indicator (G) reads 0º. If further

adjustment is necessary:

6. Loosen the screw (F) and adjust the

indicator (G) until it reads 0º

7. Tighten the screw (F).

Drive Belt

The saw is equipped with a poly-V belt.

Referring to Figure 16:

To adjust the belt tension – loosen the hex nut

(B) on the motor pivot and hex cap screw (A) on

the bracket with a 19mm socket or wrench. Pivot

the motor (C) and bracket to the right to increase

the belt tension. Retighten both screws (A, B).

To remove and replace belt – loosen the hex

nut (B) on the motor pivot and hex cap screw (A)

on the bracket with a 19mm socket or wrench.

Pivot the motor (C) and bracket to the left as far as

possible. Remove the old poly-V belt (D) and

replace. Adjust the belt tension as described

above.
