Attaching Blade Guard

1. From among the loose parts, locate the following hardware
(Fig. 20).
ITEM DESCRIPTION
6 Blade Guard and Spreader
13 Spreader Support Assembly
14 Flat Washer
15 Lockwasher (1/4" External)
16 Hex Bolt (1/4-20 x 2")
Note: Adjustments to the following bolt & screws can be done
using the small end of arbor wrench or a 10 mm wrench.
1. Align flats on inside of speader support assembly 13 with flats
on end of pivot rod 7 located on back side of table 8 and
securely fasten to pivot rod 7 using the 1/4-20 x 2" long hex bolt
16, 1/4" external tooth lockwasher 15 and flat washer 14
(Fig. 20).
2. Remove flanged hex bolt 21 and remove clamping plate 22
(Fig. 21).
3. Position spreader 6 over bumps 9, then position clamping
plate 22 as shown over bumps 9 and securely tighten flanged
hex bolt 21 (Fig. 21).
4. Loosen hex nut 20 and back out set screw 19 three turns with
a flat tip screwdriver. Loosen flanged hex bolts 23 three turns
with the 10 mm open end wrench (Fig. 23).
5. Raise the saw blade to maximum height and make sure it is
perpendicular to the table.
6. Place rip fence 2 on table and CAREFULLY move fence 2
against the blade so that it is parallel to the blade, and just
touches tips of saw teeth 10. The guard and ANTIKICKBACK
PAWL of the Spreader Assembly have to be lifted and rested on
top of the rip fence in order to bring the fence in contact with the
blade. Lock fence 2 and make sure the blade at front and back
is still touching the fence (Fig. 23).
7. Using the fence 2 as a guide, align the spreader 6 with the
plane of the sawblade. Since the spreader 6 is thinner by
approximately three thicknesses of paper on each side than the
width of the blade's KERF 11 (Fig. 24) you must make a
temporary paper "spacing gauge". Make two folds in a small
piece (6" x 6") of ordinary newspaper making three thicknesses
(Fig. 22).
8. Insert folded paper 18 between SPREADER and FENCE.
Hold spreader 6 by hand firmly against fence 2 while finger
tightening the hex bolts 23 then lightly tighten the set screw 19
(Fig. 23).
9. Release the hand hold of the spreader and fence and recheck
the spreader alignment with the blade. Readjust if necessary.
IMPORTANT: The plane of the Spreader 6 must always be IN
LINE with the plane of the sawblade 10 when blade is
perpendicular to the table or at any bevel angle .
10. After proper alignment adjustment is made, tighten hex nut
20 and securely tighten flanged hex bolts 23.
