ADJUSTING MITER GAUGE
MITER GAUGE
NOTE: Thegraduations are manulacturedto veryctose
toIerances which provide suitabte accuracy for average
woodworking. In some cases where extreme accuracy
is required, make a trial cut ana then re-check it with an
accurate square or protractor, tf necessary, the Miter
Gauge head can then be swiveled slightly to compen-
sate and then tocked.
The HEAD should be SQUARE (90 °] with the barwhen
the pointer points to "0".
To check for squareness, place an accurate square on
the Miter Gauge. If the head is NOT SQUARE with the
bar:
1. Loosen the Lock Knob.
2. Position the head square with the bar. Tighten the
Lock Knob.
3. Loosen the screw and adjust the pointer, so it points
to zero.
The swiveling movement of the head can be adjusted by
t_ghtening or loosening the set screw bcated inside of
the head using a 1/8 in. hex "L" wrench.
