Blade Guard Installation & Removal
The blade guard fits over the splitter/riving knife
and is secured in place with an M10-1.5 x 25 cap
screw and an M10-1.5 lock nut (see "Mounting
Screw" in Figure 56). These are the only fas-
teners that need to be installed/removed when
installing or removing the blade guard.

Figure 56. Blade guard mounted to riving knife.
When installing the blade guard, the mounting
screw and lock nut must be left loose enough
that the guard can freely pivot up and down, but
not so loose that there is side-to-side play when
pivoting.

Testing Guard for Correct Operation
After installing the blade guard, you must verify
that it functions correctly before making a cut. To
test the blade guard operation, lift up the front end
about 4" then release it.
• If the blade guard freely drops down against
the table surface, then it is functioning cor-
rectly and is ready for operation.
• If the blade guard remains in the position
where you released it, or it does not drop
down against the surface of the table, then
the mounting screw and lock nut are too tight.
Loosen it slightly and repeat this test until the
guard functions correctly.
• If the blade guard feels loose and easily
moves back and forth as you raise it, then the
mounting screw and lock nut are too loose.
Tighten it slightly and repeat this test until the
guard functions correctly.
