MITER 5000 - Conversion Addendum

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE ASSEMBLY

Your new Miter 5000 is factory confi gured for use

on the left side of your blade. This confi guration

works well with right hand blade tilt table saws. If

you have a right tilt table saw proceed directly to the

instructions in the included owner’s manual. If you

have a left hand blade tilt table saw, the Miter 5000

can be converted for use on the right side of the

blade. Just follow the instructions below.

1) Remove the hex bolt and the 1⁄4 x 3⁄4 pivot

shoulder bolt and washers that secure the protractor

head to the miter sled and lift the protractor top

and bottom plates off. (Retain the 1⁄2” o.d. steel

washer located in the recess on the sled base for

reassembly.) See Fig. 1.

2) Remove the (4) Phillips fl at head screws that

secure the Miter 5000 mounting plate assembly

to the sled base. Now reattach the mounting plate

assembly into the recess located on left side of

the sled base. See Fig. 2. Place the 1⁄2” o.d. steel

washer in the recessed hole on the Miter 5000 sled

base as shown.

3) Now replace the protractor top and bottom

plates and reinstall the 1⁄4 x 3⁄4 pivot shoulder bolt

and washer. See Fig. 3.

4) You can now continue using the instructions in

the owner’s manual. Just remember that you are

setting up the unit for use on the right side of the

blade. During assembly, when the owner’s manual

makes reference to the right miter slot, instead

right

perform the assembly instruction in the left miter

left

slot. Conversely, when the owner’s manual calls for

the left miter slot, perform the assembly instruction

in the right miter slot. Refer to

proper orientation during assembly.

TELESCOPING FENCE CONVERSION

If you are converting your Miter 5000 for use on the

right side of the blade, you will need to place the 4”

fence section at the right end of the longer fence. If

your fence does not already have a mounting hole

at the right end, drill a 17/64” dia. hole as shown in

Fig. 5. The hole should be centered on the groove

located on the fence extrusion.

Replace the existing fence scales with the included

reverse reading scales. The extender bar scales do

not need to be reversed.
