Safety Guard
The safety guard protects the operator from the spinning
cutter. It adjusts with the T-lock handle.
Note: Refer to the Safety Guard subsection on Page 31
for detailed operating instructions.
To install the safety guard, do these steps:
1. Thread and hand-tighten the guard support into the
threaded hole on top of the fence assembly (see
Figure 17).
2. From underneath the safety guard, insert two
x ⁄ " flat head screws into the holes that are in the

center of the guard, then secure the shorter guard
mounting bar with two
Figure 17.
3. Attach the safety guard assembly to the guard
support with the T-lock handle.
4. Attach the front guard to safety guard with the two
knob bolts (the knob bolts thread into the sides of
the safety guard; see Figure 46 for additional clarity
if needed).

Dust Collection

Recommended CFM at Dust Port: ................ 400 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating
of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the
dust port, you must take into account many variables,
including the CFM rating of the dust collector, the length
of hose between the dust collector and the machine, the
amount of branches or Y's, and the amount of other open
lines throughout the system. Explaining this calculation
is beyond the scope of this manual. If you are unsure of
your system, consult an expert or purchase a good dust
collection "how-to" book.
Connect a 3" flexible dust collection hose to the rear of
the fence ram (see Figure 19), and use a hose clamp to
secure it in place. Tug on the hose to make sure that it is
firmly held in place.
