1. Foreword
This original instruction was developed as an integral part of this product. It
contains basic information for qualified operating staff. It also contains all
necessary information for the correct and safe operation of this product.
These regulations, however, cannot cover all safety aspects. The operator
must peruse and make sense of this manual before starting to use the
product.
We maintain the right to modify specifications, designs, operation and
maintenance instructions without advance notice.
2. Warranty Information
We offer a one-year warranty based on the purchase date. Defective parts
will be repaired or replaced by Harvey at no charge.
We do not offer the warranty service for the following reasons:
◆Misuse
◆Lack of proper maintenance;
◆Not using genuine Harvey parts;

3. Application
This miter gauge is mainly used for guiding workpiece while cross cutting
and miter cutting.
It is intended to be installed on the table saw, but can also be used on the
bandsaw, sander and shaper equipped with T-slot (Width of top and bottom:
3/4” and 1”; Depth: 3/8”) with certain application limitations.

4
4. Safety Regulations
1. Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or under the effects of
drugs, alcohol or any medication that impairs reflexes or alertness.
2. The working area should be well lit, clean and free of debris.
3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the saw is in operation;
do not permit them to operate the saw.
4. Fine particulate saw dust is a carcinogen that can be hazardous to health.
Work in a well-ventilated area and whenever possible use a dust collector
and wear eye, ear and respiratory protection devices.
5. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces and ornaments
while saw is in operation.
6. Be sure that adjusting wrenches, tools, drinks and other clutter are
removed from the machine and/or the table surface before commencing
operation.
7. Keep hands well away from saw blade and all moving parts. Use a push
stick to feed stock, and use a brush, not hands, to clear away chips and
sawdust.
8. Be sure that saw blade is securely locked, and in proper cutting direction,
before operation.
9. Use recommended-speed, saw blade and accessories for the working
material.
10. Be sure the blade has gained full operating speed before beginning to
cut.
11. Always use a clean, properly sharpened blade. Dirty or dull blades are
unsafe and can lead to accidents.
12. Do not push or force stock into the cutting blade. The saw will perform
better and more safely when working at the rate for which it was designed.
13. Use suitable support when cutting stock that does not have a flat
surface. Always hold stock firmly against the fence when ripping, or against
the miter gauge when cross-cutting.
14. To minimize risk of injury in the event of work piece kickback, never
stand directly in-line with the blade or in the potential kickback path of the
work piece.

5
15. Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions. Do not overreach
during cutting operation; keep both feet on floor. Never lean over or reach
over the blade and never pull the work piece over the blade from behind.
Use outfeed support or have an assistant help when ripping long material.
16. Keep blade guards in place and in working order. If a guard must be
removed for maintenance or cleaning, be sure it is properly reattached
before using the tool again.
17. Never leave the machine running with the power on when not in
operation.
18. Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended may result in
equipment malfunction or risk of injury.
19. Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could result if the tool is
tipped over or if blade is unintentionally contacted.
20. Always disconnect tool from power before servicing or changing
accessories such as a saw blade, or before performing any maintenance,
cleaning or adjustments, or if the machine will be left unattended.
21. Make sure that switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the
power cord.
22. Make sure tool is properly grounded.

3. Loose the stop lock knob (C), slide the stop into the fence and tighten it.
Fig. 2
8. Operations
As shown in Fig.3, slide the assembled miter gauge into the T-slot of your
machine by the direction of arrow for use.
Fig. 3
8.1 Adjusting the Miter Bar Fitness
There are two set screws (A) in the Miter Bar, as shown in Fig. 3. With the
bar in the T-slot of your saw, insert the hex key into the set screws (A).
Adjusting the set screws will expand or contract the width of the bar. Adjust
each set screw so that you can eliminate lateral play but still have smooth
sliding action in the entire T-slot.

8
8.2 Adjusting the Miter Angles
(1) Using the positive stops
The miter gauge has 7 commonly used positive stops: 0°, ±22.5°, ±45°
and ±60°. As shown in Fig.4, loosen the clamp handle, then rotate the
miter gauge body to the desired angle while keeping the swing locating
block (A) pressed. When you get close to the desired angle, just release the
swing locating block (A) and slightly rotate the miter gauge,it will be locked
to the positive stop automatically. Tighten the clamp handle after swinging
the fence slightly.
Fig. 4 Fig. 5
(2) Adjusting free miter angles
As shown in Fig. 4, hold down the swing locating block (A) to the limiting
position and move the slide button (B) backward, the swing locating block
will be locked. Then you can rotate miter gauge to any desired angles
ranging from -60° to +60°. Tighten the clamp handle. (The swing locating
block (A) can be released by being holding down to the limiting position and
moving the slide button forward.)
8.3 Using the Fence System
(1) Positioning the crosscut fence (Fig.5)
Loosen two fence lock knobs (A), the fence can be moved to left or right.
Note: The fence must not be interfered with the blade, otherwise the blade
or fence may be damaged.

9
(2) Positioning the flip stop (Fig. 6)
The flip stop assembly can be moved to left or right by loosening the locking
knob (A) and positioned by reading the location of the indicator (D).
After tightening the flip stop assembly, you can micro-adjust the position of
the flip stop (±3mm / 1/8”). By loosening the knob (B) and rotating the knob
(C), you can micro-adjust the flip stop to left or right (When the miter gauge
is in the left T-slot of table saw, the flip stop can be moved far away from the
blade by rotating in the direction of “+”, and it can be moved to the blade
close by rotating in the direction of “-”. When the miter gauge is on the right
T-slot of table saw, the situation is opposite). When adjustment is finished,
tighten the knob (B).
The miter gauge is available in metric and imperial versions, the version
information can be identified by the sign on the side of package box. For
metric version, the increment of a full turn of the micro-adjustment knob (C)
is 1mm, and the increment for each turn of one grid in the scale ring (E) is
0.02mm; for imperial version, the increment of a full turn of the
micro-adjustment knob (C) is 1/20”, and the increment for each turn of one
grid in the scale ring (E) is 0.001”.
The bevel pin (F) is used for positioning certain bevels as shown in Fig. 7,
can be installed in any of the mounting holes of the flip stop(G) as required.
Fig. 6 Fig. 7

10
(3) Positioning the extension crosscut fence (Figure 8)
a. The extension crosscut fence (A) can telescope out of the main fence to
the desired distance by loosening the lock knob (B), then secure it by
re-tightening the lock knob (B).
b. If the miter gauge need to be used on the other side of table saw, just
slide the extension crosscut fence (A) off the main fence and slide it in from
the other end of the main fence (As shown in the dashed box). Then take
off the lock knob (B) and re-tighten it in the opposite place at the other end
of the main fence.
(4) Positioning the ruler (Fig.8)
Under pressure of your finger, the ruler (C) can be moved to left or right.
(Note: The ruler is only used to indicate the relative location of the flip stop.)
Fig. 8
8.4 Making a Sub Fence
Users can make a wooden sub fence as required. As shown in Fig. 9, you
can secure the sub fence on the aluminum fence of MG-36 by using the
countersunk head screw and rectangular nut. (6 sets of screws and nuts
are recommended for securing).
Fig. 9

11
9. Calibration
The miter gauge has been factory calibrated for use on the machine. Due to
the machine difference, the perpendicularity between fence and blade
should be re-checked. If you need to do the calibration again, just follow the
steps below (Fig.10):
(1) Adjust the blade to the highest position at 90°.
(2) Lock the miter gauge to 0°.
(3) Place two sides of the square against the blade and fence. (Note: The
square must not contact with the blade teeth, otherwise the calibration
accuracy may be affected.) If there’s no gap between the fence and square
side, you do not need to do a calibration; if the gap exits, calibrate as
following steps.
(4) Loosen four screws (A), and rotate the miter gauge slightly to make it
against the fence without any play. Re-tighten four screws (A) to complete
the calibration.
Fig. 10

12
10. Maintenance
(1) Periodically check the perpendicularity between fence and blade
according to Chapter 9.
(2) Periodically check if any deviation occurs between the indicator and the
graduation on the dial (visual inspection at 0°).
The following three possible reasons may lead to the deviation (Fig. 11):
Looseness of the ball locating pin (A).
Looseness and offset of the position block assembly (B).
Looseness and offset of the arc locating block (C).
Fig. 11 Fig. 12
Adjust as following steps (Fig. 12):
a. Check if the ball locating pin set screw (D) is loose. Enter into Step b if
not. Tighten the set screw (D) if it is loose, then re-check if any deviation
occurs between the indicator and the graduation at 0°, if the deviation still
exists, enter into Step b.
b. Move the slide button (E) backward to lock the swing locating block and
loosen the position block set screws (F). After aligning the contacting edge
(G) between the position block and the top of miter bar, re-tighten the set
screws (F). Then re-check if any deviation occurs between the indicator and
the graduation at 0°, if the deviation still exists, enter into Step c.
c. Move the slide button (E) forward to release the swing locating block (the
positive stops can be used now). Adjust the gauge body to 0°, loosen the
arc locating block set screws (total of 4) to make the arc locating block can
move freely. Then rotate the dial, lock the clamp handle after aligning the 0°
indicator with the graduation on the dial. Swing slightly and push the arc
locating block, then lock it. Re-check if any deviation occurs between the

13
indicator and the graduation at 0°, if the deviation still exists, repeat this
Step.
d. Calibrate the perpendicularity between fence and blade according to
Chapter 9.
(3) Periodically check the surface of the ball locating pin and the groove
edge of arc locating bloc, if any burrs occur, polish them with fine abrasive.
