PS7060 MULTIQUIP SAW — BLADE GUARDS
Blade Guard
The Blade Guards can be mounted on either side of the saw to
accomodate different cutting jobs.
Removing a Blade Guard:
1. Remove the water delivery hose from the Blade Guard.
(See Figure 15.)
The saw utilizes a tapered Blade Guard mounting
clip that, during operation, settles in the taper by
the weight of the guard locking itself into place
providing a rigid, rattle-free fit.
Figure 16. Removing The Blade Guard
3. With the opposite hand grasp the rear handle and rock
back and forth with an upward pressure to release the Blade
Guard tapered mounting clip. (See NOTE above for Blade
Guards 36" or larger.) Lift straight up then pull back once
the tapered lock is released. Install Blade Guard in reverse
order.

2. Standing toward the back of the blade guard, grasp the top
handle firmly with your outboard hand (this will be the right
hand if the guard is mounted on the right as viewed from
the operator's position), and prepare to support the weight
of the blade guard. (Figure 16.)
Bladeguards utilize one of two types of watering
systems. Determine if your saw has a standard
system with standard flanges (no holes in flange)
and flexible water tubes (Figure 18), or a Waterjet
system with flange holes as seen in Figure 10 and
rigid water tubes (Figure 21).
