Adjusting The Floating Blade Guard - SawStop TSG-FDC Owner's Manual

Adjusting the Floating Blade Guard

The floating guard lock handle
1
can be used to secure the floating
blade guard and prevent vertical
movement.
Loosen the lock handle by rotating it
in a counter-clockwise direction.
Move the floating blade guard up
2
or down to the desired position
and then tighten the lock handle by
rotating it in a clockwise direction.
There are some operations in which the use of the floating dust collection guard system is not
practical, and in those cases, the floating blade guard can be lifted up towards the dust tubes and
i
the floating guard lock handle can be tightened to secure it in place.
When pivoting the dust tubes relative to the dust collection guard mounting bracket and when
adjusting the lateral position of the floating blade guard, the floating blade guard should always be
locked in its upper, or retracted, position.
Over the life of your TSG-FDC, the motion
i
of raising and lowering the blade guard
may begin to feel stiff. You can change
this tension to your liking by loosening the
four bolts indicated in the image.
