Cutter Head Guard Functional Check
WARNING: Cutter guard helps provide protection over the cutterhead. It must always be in place and functioning properly to prevent serious personal injury.
With the power off and the switch key removed, check the guard to make sure it is functioning properly.
•Position the fence to the rear of the bed for maximum width of cut. Do not position fence beyond rear edge of cutter knives.
•Pass a 1/4 inch thick piece of wood over the cutter- head between the guard and the fence.
The guard must return automatically to a “rest position” against the fence when free of the wood.
If guard does not return automatically, adjust the guard spring, as described in the next section.
Adjusting Guard Spring
1.Remove the pan head screw from bottom of the guard post.
2.Remove tension on guard by turning tension knob clockwise. Pull up on guard to remove.
3.Add tension to the cutter head guard in 1/2 turn incre- ments by turning the tension knob and reinserting the guard post.
4.Repeat Cutter Head Guard Functional check as previ- ously described.
