With the miter gauge in place on your machine (a tablesaw in this
example) ensure that the guide bar slides easily in the miter-gauge
slot without side-to-side play. Disconnect the tablesaw from power
and raise the blade. Loosen the two T-knobs that secure the fence to
the head, and position the end of the fence ⅝” from the saw blade.
Tighten the knobs. Loosen the handle, remove the positioning pin,
and rotate the miter-gauge head in both directions to make sure the
fence does not contact the blade. If there is interference, loosen the
T-knobs and slide the fence away from the blade. Return the miter-
gauge head to the zero-degree position, insert the positioning pin, and
tighten the handle.
Position the fence and calibrate Swing Stop™
Use a steel shop ruler (one with the zero mark fl ush with the end) to
position the stop arm 3" from the blade. Let the blade teeth graze the
end of the ruler. (Do not use the cursor and measuring tape to position
the stop arm.) Tighten the stop T-knob.
Loosen the nylon machine screw that secures the lens cursor to the
arm and position the lens with the red line exactly over the 3” mark on
the measuring tape. Tighten the nylon screw.
Make a test cut to confi rm the 3" length. Adjust the cursor position as
necessary and make another test cut.
To install the fence stop, slide the head of the ¼"-20 x 1¼" hex head
bolt into the T-slot in the back of the fence on the side of the miter-
gauge head closest to the blade. Slip the fence-stop bushing over the
bolt and thread on the hex nut. Slide the fence stop against the edge
of the miter-gauge head and tighten the nut. Now you can reposition
the fence, for example moving the fence closer to the blade to support
a workpiece when making an angled cut, and return it to perfect
calibration for right-angle cuts simply by repositioning the fence with the
stop against the edge of the miter-gauge head.
! ATTENTION - Bevel Cuts
Any time the blade is tilted toward the miter gauge, always check to see if any part of the miter gauge contacts the blade
before turning on the saw. If there is interference, move the fence away from the blade. This may require removing the fence
stop and then recalibrating the fence after making the bevel cut.
