To assemble your overarm blade guard:
1.Thread the
2.Attach the two side support legs to the main vertical support with the
Note: Choose one of the three height mount- ing positions for the side support legs that will best fit the height of your table saw.
3.Thread the remaining two foot assemblies into the extension tube, then slide the exten- sion tube into the bottom of the vertical sup- port. Secure it in place with the
4.Adjust the feet so that the support assembly sits level, then tighten the hex nuts on the feet upward to secure the setting.
Note: The adjustable threaded feet can also be used to vary the height of the blade guard over the table saw.
5.With assistance, insert the shaft of the boom assembly into the top of the vertical support. Make sure it is fully seated.
6.To keep the boom from unexpectedly rotat- ing, flip the stop bracket on top of the vertical support up and secure it with the lock lever
7.Slide the blade guard assembly onto the end of the boom, then secure it in place by tight- ening the cap screw.
Note: The blade guard assembly rotates on the boom assembly to make further adjust- ments to the blade guard height above the
-2- blade.
8.Securely clamp the 3" flexible dust hose between the blade guard assembly and the end of the dust collection boom. Tug on it to make sure it is secure.
9.Move the guard assembly against your table saw in the position that best fits your opera- tion, then make height and boom adjustments so that:
•The guard is centered over the saw blade.
•There is equal clearance between the blade and the guard on either side.
•The guard wheels rest on the table when the blade guard pivot arms are fully extend- ed down.
To avoid the risk of the blade guard coming in contact with the saw blade during opera- tion, always securely attach the blade guard assembly to the table saw and properly posi- tion the guard above the blade. Otherwise, the blade guard could break apart and cause serious personal injury or property dam- age.
10.Make marks through the two holes of the bot- tom connecting bracket onto the side of your table saw.
11.Drill holes into your table saw that will accom- modate 1⁄4" fasteners (not included), then securely attach the blade guard assembly to the table saw.
12.Attach a adequate dust collection system to the 4" open end of the dust collection boom.
Boom Rotation
To rotate the dust collection boom, loosen the lock lever on top of the vertical support and move the pivoting stop bracket out of the way. Rotate the boom as needed, then tighten the hex nut on the side of the vertical support and lock it in place with the jam nut.
