Install Guard

The guard is a very important safety feature.
It covers a large part of the blade and helps
protect against severe cuts. Always use the
guard

1. Lock motor at 0° bevel (blade vertical).

2. Use one hand to lift clear plastic guard;
use other hand to grasp rear of guard (below
dust elbow). Position guard so riving knife
faces front of saw.

3. Tilt front of guard down about 45°; place
over blade; rotate guard to level position.

NOTE:

Make sure two screw heads on back

of guard are resting on top of motor housing.
This will prevent movement of guard about
motor. Squeeze handle trigger to make sure
it fully raises clear plastic guard. If it does
not, remove and reinstall guard, making sure
that trigger mechanism engages pull link on
guard.

4. Tighten guard clamp screw.
