FEATURES
The Fence is equipped with a high quality 12" Movable Scale.
Calibrate the scale by using the pointer on the ip stop to provide
accurate measurements. Use the Pointer to conveniently set the
workpiece length.
Figure 15
Calibrating the Scale:
1. Set the Fence a safe distance from the blade.
2. Place the right side of the ip stop to left side set tooth.
3. Align the 0 mark of the scale to the pointer.
Figure 16
The Precision Miter Gauge Fence System is now ready to use.
NOTE: This Miter Gauge is designed to work with the included
Fence. It can also be used as a conventional miter gauge.
TO USE
See Figure 17. Loosen the Handle. To unlock the Adjustment
Plunger pull and twist left (counter clockwise). Release. Plunger
is now in neutral position. The Miter Gauge will now move freely
side-to-side.
Figure 17
CAUTION
Always keep Adjustment Plunger in UNLOCKED position when
moving set pin to any location. Failure to do so may result in
damage to the Miter Gauge.
If desired angle is a positive stop, pull Adjustment Plunger and
twist right (clockwise). Allow set pin to drop into notch of the
desired positive stop. Release the spring loaded plunger to
secure into place. Tighten the handle.
If the desired angle is not a positive stop, maneuver Miter Gauge
to desired angle and tighten the handle.
For Example:
The protractor scale on the Miter Gauge head acts like a Vernier
scale and precise angles can be set.
1. Loosen the handle and unlock the adjustment plunger.
2. Figure 18 shows the gauge set to 25.3 degrees. Zero is past
the 25 degree mark and the upper and lower scales line up 3
marks past zero on the lower scale.
3. In Figure 19, zero is past the 18 degree mark and the upper
and lower scales line up 7 marks past zero on the lower
scale, for a measurement of 18.7 degrees.
4. When the angle is set, tighten the handle.
