See F=Jgure 39.
The miter gauge providesgreater accuracy in angHd cuts.
For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.
Them are two miter gauge channels, one on either side

either miter gauge channel. When making a beveled cross
cut (the blade tilted in relationto the table) the miter gauge
sheutd be located in the slot on the right so that the blade
is tilted away from the miter gauge and your hands.
The miter gauge can be turned 60 ° to the right or left.

gauge until the desired angte is reached on the scale.
