Mounting Push Block Assembly on Back Fence

1.Mount assembled Push Block on the Back Fence by aligning retaining rib on Push Block with the groove in the face of Back Fence. See fig. L.2.

2.Slide push block assembly back and forth along entire length of Back Fence to ensure that it slides freely. Occasional application of furniture spray wax on the sliding surfaces of the Push Block will improve the sliding motion.

Removing dust and chips from sliding surfaces of Push Block and Back Fence will ensure a good sliding motion.

M.Assembly of Safety Dust Guard to Back Fence

1.Identify the components required, see opposite.

2.Position the guard on the Back Fence as shown in fig. M.

3.Fit one of the Push Nuts onto one end of the Pivot Pin. (To ensure a secure fitting it will be necessary to tap it onto the pin with a hammer).

4.Align the holes in the Back Fence with those on the Dust Guard.

5.Insert the Pivot Pin through the holes.

6.Fit the remaining Push Nut onto the other end of the Pivot Pin. It will be necessary to support the other end of the Pivot Pin onto the corner of a hard surface in order to tap the Push Nut securely onto the Pivot Pin with a hammer.

7.Ensure the guard pivots freely.

Note

Once the guard has been installed, it is recommended that the Push Nuts are not removed.
