Guide the push stick at an angle of 20º ... 30º against the saw table's surface.
When the push stick is not used it can be stored on the push stick holder provided at
the band saw frame.
Replace push stick if damaged.

To set a miter angle: loosen lock handle by turning it counter-clockwise.

When cutting with the miter gauge the lock handle must be firmly tightened.
