ASSEMBLY

TO INSTALL SPACER BAR

See Figure 29.

Locate the following parts:

1 spacer bar

2 support plates

2 set screws

Thread one of the set screws into each of the locking plates.

Place one support plate over each end of the spacer bar with the bent ends pointing out.

Slide the support plate (set screw end first) into the slots in the end of the front and rear rails. Move the spacer bar to within approximately 4-1/2 in. from the end of the rear rail and parallel to the side of the saw table.

If spacer bar has a gap between the large diameter of the spacer bar and the inside of the rear rail, fill the gap with the appropriate number of shims (included). The shims are to be placed on the spacer bar before the support plate.

Once the correct fit is made, lock the spacer bar in place by tightening the set screws with a 3/32 in. hex key.

TO INSTALL BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY

See Figure 30.

Lower the blade by turning the height adjusting handwheel counterclockwise.

Attach the separator to the separator support and align the edges. Secure using hex head screws (1/4-20 x 5/8 in.) and flanged hex nuts (1/4-20). Tighten using a 10 mm wrench.

Slide the separator on the separator rod until the notches engage the pin. Thread thumbscrew into the tapped hole and hand tighten.

TO ALIGN BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY TO THE BLADE

See Figures 30 - 31.

Raise the saw blade.

Place a combination square or framing square against the saw blade and the blade guard assembly.

If not square, loosen the thumbscrew in the blade guard support and move the separator left or right until it touches the blade square.

Retighten thumbscrew.

NOTE: To remove the blade guard assembly without disturb- ing the separator alignment, loosen the thumbscrew and pull the blade guard off the separator rod.
