Miter Detent Override
The miter detent override button (Fig. 42, 21) al-
lows the miter detent action to be locked out, al-
lowing for micro adjustments at any miter angle.
When the desired miter angle is too close to a
standard mitering angle that has a detent slot
(18), this feature prevents the wedge on the mi-
ter detent system from slipping into the detent
slot on the miter detent plate (17).
1. Push the miter detent override button (21)
down.
2. Push the miter detent override button (21)
forward and latch in place under receiving
edge on the table arm (Fig. 42).
3. Rotate the table (22) to any position on the
miter scale (19).
4. Tighten the miter lock knob (20) by rotating
it clockwise to retain the miter position.
To Disengage:
Push down and pull the miter detent override
button (Fig. 42, 21) and the table (22) should
lock into any desired miter detent (18).
Saw Operations
Using Miter Detent System
1. Loosen the miter lock knob (Fig. 41, 20)
about 1/2 turn.
2. Grip the miter lock knob (20), and then push
the miter detent override button (21) down
with your thumb and push until the button is
out from the detent plate (17).
3. While gripping the miter lock knob (20) and
miter detent override button (21), rotate the
saw’s table (22). Stop table rotation at the
desired angle as indicated by the miter scale
pointer (19).
4. Release the lever into a detent (18) in the
detent plate (17) or at an angle between
detents. If close to a detent, use the detent
override feature.
5. Tighten the miter lock knob (20) by rotating
it clockwise before cutting.
NOTE: It is recommended to tighten the mi-
ter lock knob (20) before all cuts. It is re-
quired to tighten the knob before cutting at

miter detent override system is in use.
