Fig. 7
1. Raise blade guard away from table and hold anti-
kickback fingers (A) away from table surface.
SEE FIG. 7.
2. Using an accurate straight edge (B), align the
splitter with the saw blade. Be sure the straight
edge rests against body of saw blade and not saw
teeth.
3. When saw blade is aligned with the splitter, care-
fully tighten the hex cap bolt (C) on the splitter
bracket assembly inside the saw.
4. Make sure the splitter is level with the table and
approximately 1/8" above the table before tighten-
ing the hardware on the rear of the blade guard
assembly. This space between the splitter and the
table keeps the splitter from binding on the table
when the blade is tilted to 45°.
5. When saw blade is aligned with the splitter, lower
the blade, and tighten all hardware.
6. Check alignment again after tightening hardware.
Adjust if necessary.
