Spindle Enclosure Guard Positioning
The spindle enclosure guard protects the user
from exposure to the cutter and chips thrown by
it. To minimize the risk of injury, the spindle enclo-
sure guard must be adjusted so it encloses as
much of the spindle area as possible, while still
allowing the workpiece to pass through the cut.
Typically this means the front guard is positioned
to just clear the top of the workpiece.
"- To position the spindle enclosure guard, loosen
4
the top knob bolts and slide the extension plate in
or out, then loosen the front knob bolts and raise
or lower the spindle enclosure guard as needed.
Tighten the knob bolts to secure the setting.
