Cutterhead Guard
The cutterhead guard is a critical safety
feature on this machine. A torsion spring is
mounted on the cutterhead guard shaft to
help it return to its proper position over the
cutterhead after a cutting operation. This tor-
sion spring must have spring pressure dur-
ing guard installation to work properly.
To install the cutterhead guard:
1.
Wind the tang on the torsion spring back a
half turn, and slide the guard shaft into the
casting so the spring tang points to the right
and rests against the casting, as shown in
Figure 11.

the correct position for proper return tension.
2.
Test the guard by pulling it back and letting
go.
—The guard should snap back over the
cutterhead without dragging across the
table. If it does, tighten the shaft lock.
—If the guard drags across the table, raise
it until it won't drag, then tighten the shaft
lock.
—If the guard does not snap back, remove
it and repeat Steps 1 & 2, increasing the
spring tension as needed.
