WARNING
serve the following safety precau-
tions in addition to the safety instructions on Pages
2, 3, 4 & 5.
Never make these cuts freehand (without using the
miter gauge or other auxiliary devices) because the
blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK
or cause your fingers or hand to slip into the blade.
Always lock the miter gauge securely when in use.
Remove rip fence from table during any operations
which utilize the miter gauge.
The miter includes a "T" groove disk 1 for easy in-
sertion into table groove and quicker removal from
the table (Fig 42).
When cross cutting and the blade set at 90º or 45º
to the table, the miter gauge can be used in either
slot on the table. When cross cutting and the blade
is tilted, use slot on right side of table where the
blade is tilted away from your hands and miter
gauge.
To adjust the miter angle:
Loosen lock knob 2 and set the miter gauge body 3
so the pointer 4 is at desired angle, then tighten lock
knob 2 (Fig. 42).
MITER gAUgE AUXIlIARy fACINg
The GTS1031 miter gauge is designed to accept an
Auxiliary Facing with pre-molded holes for fastening
a suitable piece of smooth straight wood. Utilize the
miter gauge as a template to attach with proper
fasteners (Fig. 43).
Example:
A. Drill 5/32" dia. holes thru (board 3/4" thick, 3" high,
and desired length).
B. Attach with two No. 12 round head wood screws
1-1/2" long, 6, not included (Fig. 43).
Be sure screws never protrude above outside sur-
face of facing.
Be sure facing does not interfere with the proper op-
eration of the saw blade guard.
NOTE: When bevel crosscutting, attach facing so
that it extends to the right of the miter gauge and use
the miter gauge in the groove to the right of the
blade.
