USING THE HOLD-DOWN

When cutting wide pieces of material, move the clamp

assembly forward as far as it will go... grip the lock handle

and tighten by turning clockwise until lock handle is

secured. Tighten both wing screws.

When cutting narrow pieces of material, adjust the clamp

assembly with the clamp over the center of the workpiece.

Grip the lock handle and tighten by turning clockwise until

lock handle is secured. Tighten both wing screws,

The clamp screw contains a "rapid approach" feature.

Disengage clamp lock latch, press IN the r_pid approach

button which is located on the left side of the clamp

assembly and PUSH DOWN or PULL UP on the clamp

screw. Release button and tighten the clamp screw. Engage

clamp lock latch.

FOR YOUR PROTECTION, NEVER USE MITER GAUGE

WITH CLAMP LOCK LATCH DISENGAGED.

SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES ... you can make a

s_mple support bv clamping a p_ece o]' plywood to a

sawhorse,

ADD FACING to front face of miter gauge head for

support as needed. It must not extend past the right end -

including the 45 ° corner of miter gauge head when miter

gauge is used in the left table groove, nor east the left end

when mi_er gauge is usea in the right table groove,

Otherwise, the FACING will interfere with the saw blade

guard and prevent proper and safe operation.

CAUTION: For bevel crosscutting or compound miter

cutting, use the miter gauge in the groove to the RIGHT of

the blade .. NEVER TO THE LEFT. This will permit the

guard and the miter gauge to function properly.

Always release clamping knob -- unclamp workpiece and

disengage clamp lock latch before pressing in rapid

approach button.

End of work_)iece must extend at least two inches to either

side of shoe of clamo screw.

Wiae (12"' or wider_ and long (2 feet or longer) pieces of

plywood, chip board or wall paneling should be cut using

the rip fence rather than the miter gauge.

NOTE: It may be necessary to add a facing to the Fence to

prevent very thin materials like wall paneling or formica

from slipping under the fence. Support wide workpieces to

the rear of the table -- you e_n make _ _=rn_le cup5ort by

clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.

BE POSITIVE edge of workpiece next to face of miter

gauge head is straight and tight against miter gauge head so

that workpiece does not rock or rotate,

When repositioning Head to another miter angle, it is

necessary to loosen both Wing Screws slightly before

lessening the Lock Handle.

CAUTION: After setting angle, secure Lock Handle and

both Wing Screws, in that order, before clamping the

workpiece and engaging the clamp lock latch.

ALWAYS use both hands when operating with miter gauge.

Place one hand on the lock handle -- use this hand to feed

workpiece thru the sawblade. For narrow work, place other

hand so thumb is hooked behind miter gauge head and

fingers hooked over leading edge for work. For wider work

where other hand cannot span board as aoove, ptace hand

on top of work and hook fingers over leading edge of work

to hold it tight against the face of the miter gauge during

the cutting operation.

Never use mter gauge with clamp lock latch disengaged.
