USING THE MITER GAUGE

CROSSCUTTING, MITER CUTTING, BEVEL
CUTTING, COM POUND MITER CUTTING and
when RABBETING across the end of a narrow
workpiece, the MITER GAUGE is used.
For your own safety, always
observe the following safety
WARNING
precautions in addition to the safety instruc-
tions on Pages 3, 4, 5 & 6.
Never make these cuts freehand (without using
the miter gauge or other auxiliary devices) be-
cause the blade could bind in the cut and cause a
KICKBACK or cause your fingers or hand to slip
into the blade.
Always lock the miter gauge securely when in use.
Remove rip fence from table during any opera-
tions which utilize the miter gauge.
When cross cutting and the blade set at 90º or 45º
to the table, the miter gauge can be used in either
slot on the table. When cross cutting and the blade
is tilted, use slot on right side of table where the
blade is tilted away from your hands and miter
gauge.
To adjust the miter angle:
Loosen lock knob and set the miter gauge body
so the pointer is at desired angle, then tighten lock
knob (Fig. 48).
MITER GAUGE AUXILIARY FACING
The SPT70WT miter gauge is designed to accept
an Auxiliary Facing with pre-molded holes for fas-
tening a suitable piece of smooth straight wood.
Utilize the miter gauge as a template to attach with
proper fasteners (Fig. 49).
Example:
A. Drill 5/32" dia. holes through (board 3/4" thick,
3" high, and desired length).
B. Attach with two No. 12 round head wood
screws 1-1/2" long, not included (Fig. 48).
Be sure screws never protrude above outside sur-
face of facing.
Be sure facing does not interfere with the proper
operation of the saw blade guard.
NOTE: When bevel crosscutting, attach facing so
that it extends to the right of the miter gauge and
use the miter gauge in the groove to the right of
the blade.
