3.Pull the cutterhead guard backward to ten- sion the spring, then—while holding tension on the guard—move the fence into regular operating position and release the guard against the fence.

4.Test the guard. When pulled back and released, the guard should spring back over the cutterhead and stop against the fence.

—If the guard does not spring back over the cutterhead or drags across the table, rein- stall it, making sure there is tension on the shaft when it is installed, so it will spring back over the fence.
