Guard Assembly

10.Insert index pin (T) Fig. 11, through the hole in splitter (U), as shown, and fasten with locknut (V). Fig 11 illustrates the index pin assembly arrangement for both right and left tilting arbor saws.

11.Loosen knob (F) Fig. 12, and slide splitter (U) down as far as possible into the splitter mounting bracket and tighten knob (F). Fig 13 illustrates the splitter assembled to the mounting bracket. IMPORTANT: When performing non thru-cutting operations, such as dadoing, the splitter (U) Figs. 12 and 13, can be removed by loosening knob (F). This enables you to use the guard basket for non thru-cutting operations.

12.Clamp the guard mounting bracket (A) Fig. 14 to the back rail (B) of the fence system, making sure the inside of the vertical post (C), is approximately 1/4” past the end of rail (B).

13.Using a 9/32” drill bit, drill six holes in the rear rail, three each to be drilled into the horizontal and vertical portion of the back rail (B), using the holes (D) and (E) in the mounting bracket as a template.
