There is no requirement to remove the guard. The profile of the riving knife precludes the use of the saw
for slotting or grooving, and the maximum depth of cut can be achieved with the guard in place.
NOTE: The positioning of the extraction hose could be a nuisance if you are cutting big boards, in such a
case it is better to remove the hosing from the guard, then there is less risk getting the workpiece snagged
and perhaps ‘slewing’ on the saw.

Locate the M8 x 25mm SQUARE head bolts washers and nuts (4B). The best way to fit the rails is to
introduce the bolts through the holes in the front and rear edges of the tables, hold in position by adding
the washer and fitting the nut a couple of turns onto the bolt. (See figs 30-31)

Select the front short rip fence guide rail (22), introduce the square head of the furthest right hand bolt
into the channel in the extrusion; slide the rail along the front of the machine picking up all the bolt heads
as you go along. (See fig 32) Reach under the table edge and lightly tighten all the nuts. (See fig 33) Repeat
the process for the back rail (23). (See fig 34)
