ASSEMBLY
-14-
Cutterhead Guard
1. Remove the setscrew from the slot in the
end of the cutterhead guard shaft.
2. Rotate the spring housing clockwise (looking
at the face of the knob) 1 full turn and
insert the cutterhead shaft into the pivot
hole as shown in Figure 16.
3. Fit the shaft slot over the tang inside the
spring housing. The shaft should drop
through the bottom of the housing.
4. When installed, the cutterhead guard
should press firmly against the fence and
should be completely covering the cutter-
head as shown in Figure 17.
5. Move the cutterhead guard back and forth
to make sure that it automatically returns
back to its proper position against the fence
and over the cutterhead.
6. Make sure the cutterhead guard has the
correct return pressure. If the pressure is
weak or there is no return pressure at all,
remove the shaft, tighten the spring housing
by rotating clockwise, and re-install the
shaft to check for proper operation.
7. Replace the setscrew at the end of the
shaft, so that the cutterhead guard cannot
be removed from the pivot hole.
Figure 17. Guard in proper position against
the fence and completely over the cutterhead.
Figure 16. Rotate spring housing clockwise 1 full
turn and insert cutterhead guard shaft.

trude into the adjustment slot, then insert
the knob through the fence housing and
thread the knob into the special nut.
