Saw Operations
Using Miter Detent System
1. Loosen the miter lock knob about 1/2 turn.
2. Grip the lock knob, and then reach down
with your index finger to pull up on the miter
detent lever – pull lever until it is out from
the detent plate.
3. While gripping the lock knob and lever, ro-
tate the saw’s table. Stop table rotation at
the desired angle as indicated by the miter
scale pointer.
4. Release the lever into a detent in the detent
plate or at an angle between detents. If
close to a detent, use the detent override
feature.
5. Tighten the miter lock knob before cutting.

lock knob before all cuts. It is required to
tighten the knob before cutting at any angle be-
tween detents or when the miter detent over-
ride system is in use.

Miter Detent Override
The miter detent override feature allows the
miter detent action to be locked out, allowing
for micro adjustments at any miter angle. When
the desired miter angle is too close to a stan-
dard mitering angle that has a detent slot, this
feature prevents the wedge on the miter detent
lever from slipping into the detent slot on the
miter detent plate.
1. Lift and hold the miter detent lever.
2. Push the detent override clip forward and
latch in place over receiving edge on
turntable arm. Release miter detent lever
(figure 41).
3. Rotate table to any position on the miter
scale.
4. Lock the miter lock knob to retain miter po-
sition.
To Disengage:
Loosen miter lock knob and lift the miter detent
lever to release the detent override clip. The
clip should automatically disengage and the
table should lock into any desired miter detent.
