7.Assemble the blade guard and splitter assembly (G) Fig. 19 between the large washer (C) and the splitter bracket and tighten hex head screw (H) with 12mm wrench.
8.Fasten the rear of the blade guard and splitter bracket assembly (G) Fig. 20, to the rear splitter mounting bracket using 5/16-18 x 5/8″ carriage bolt (J), 5/16” flat washer and 5/16-18 hex nut. Align the hole in the rear of the blade guard with the hole in the splitter bracket. Insert the 5/16-18x5/8″ carriage bolt through the holes. Place flat washer onto the bolt, then place nut on bolt and tighten.
IMPORTANT: The splitter (G) Fig. 20, has a notch (L) cut in the top edge. This feature will enable the blade guard to stay in the raised position when the table insert is removed to make blade changing easier. Raise the front of blade guard (M) Fig. 21, until the rear edge of the blade guard slips into notch (L) of splitter (G); the blade guard will stay in this position.
ALWAYS RETURN GUARD DOWN TO TABLE BEFORE OPERATING SAW. DO NOT OPERATE SAW WITHOUT THE TABLE
INSERT AND GUARD IN PLACE.
