NOTE: The adjustable wrench will fit the flats on top
of the post.

THE WORKPIECE IS IN THE DESIRED POSITION
AND YOU ARE READY TO SECURE THE MITER

See Figure 3.
■Place the workpiece in the desired position against
the saw’s miter fence.
■Loosen the knob bolt.
■Slide the miter clamp down against the workpiece
as shown.
■Tighten the knob bolt securely. As the knob bolt
tightens, pressure against the post causes the
miter clamp to pull the workpiece inward against
the miter fence and down toward the table. As
noted above, the miter clamp pulls the workpiece
inward up to 1/16 in.

operator must ensure control of the workpiece at all
