5. Position the blade guard arm (7) to the rear of the
table.
6. Using a straight edge, check to see if the blade
guard splitter (8) is aligned with the saw blade (9).
7. If straightening adjustment is necessary, loosen the
bolt (3) and shift the splitter assembly to right or left,
or rotate.
8. When the splitter is properly aligned with the saw
blade, tighten the bolt tightly.
9. If height adjustment is necessary, loosen the bolts
(11) and raise the splitter assembly to the desired
height and tighten the bolts. (Fig. K)
10. NOTE: The splitter must always be correctly aligned
so that the cut workpiece will pass on either side
without binding or twisting to the side.
Improper splitter alignment can cause "kickback" and
serious injury.

the right hand side of the saw base by pulling them
out from the cam locking assemblies (4).
3. Insert the table extension mounting tubes (3) into the
two matching holes in the cam lever assemblies.
NOTE: Make sure the front mounting tube has the
measuring scale visible from the front of the saw.
4. Slide the table extension toward the table until it
