Cutterhead Guard
To install the cutterhead guard:
1.Locate the spring tang on the cutterhead guard that is shown in Figure 35.
Figure 35. Spring tang on cutterhead guard.
2.Rotate the spring tang approximately half of a turn.
3.Keep tension on the spring tang and install the shaft into the shaft housing on the front of the infeed table as shown in Figure 36.

holding spring tang.
4.Lower the shaft into the shaft housing far enough that the spring tang will rest against the edge of the infeed table when released, as shown in Figure 37.

5.Tighten the lock at the front of the housing.
6.Test the cutterhead guard by moving it toward the front of the jointer and then letting it go. The guard should return back to its original position against the fence and over the cutterhead, or as shown in Figure 38.
This operation is extremely important for operator safety!

7.If the guard drags across either table, release the lock at the shaft housing and move the guard up a little.
