verify its operation before using the jointer!
Failure to properly install this guard will

injury.

1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen lock knob (see Figure 65) that
secures cutterhead guard shaft.

3.
Make sure fence is out of way, then pull
cutterhead guard back and let it go. It should
spring back over cutterhead.
— If cutterhead guard does not return swiftly
toward fence, loosen lock knob, lift guard
so shaft clears hole, rotate guard clock-
wise, then re-install it and lock it in place.
4. Re-test and, if necessary, repeat Step 3 until
cutterhead guard has correct tension.
