Installing blade guard
CAUTION:
Before installing the blade guard, adjust the depth of cut to its maximum elevation.
Insert the spreader between the blade
guard mounting portion (stay) and the pres-
sure plate.
Tighten the hex bolts (A) with the offset
wrench. The spreader installing location is
factory-adjusted so that the blade and
spreader will be in a straight line. However,
if they are not in
a
straight line, loosen the
hex bolts (B) and adjust the blade guard
mounting portion (stay) so that the spreader
is aligned directly behind the blade. Then
tighten the hex bolts
(B)
to secure the stay.

N :
*Always grasp the striped portion of the offset wrench when tightening the hex bolts. If
you tighten the hex bolts while grasping the offset wrench further than the striped por-
tion, the hex bolts may be damaged and/or an injury to your hand may result.
If the blade and spreader are not aligned properly, a dangerous pinching condition may
result during operation. Make sure they are properly aligned.
There must be a clearance of about 4
-
5 mm (5/32" - 13/64") between the spread-
er and the blade teeth. Adjust the spreader
accordingly and tighten the hex bolts (A)
securely. Attach the table insert on the
table, then check to see that the blade
guard works smooth.
