should always be used for operations that require the

fence to be removed. To install the overhead cutter

guard, proceed as follows:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

2. Remove the fence assembly from the table.

3. Insert rod (A) Fig. 31, of overhead cutter guard

through hole in rear of table, as shown, and into bracket

order to insert rod (A). Adjust the height of the overhead

guard (D) until the rim of the guard (D) lays flat on the

workpiece and tighten two screws, both of which are

shown at (E) Fig. 31. The guard raises as the workpiece

moves against the cutter, and lowers at the completion

of the cut.
