Installing Blade Guard & Spreader
1. Disconnect and lockout power to the saw!
2. Remove the table insert.
3. Insert the spreader into the bracket slot and
tighten the lock knob to secure the spreader.
4. Tug upward on the top of the spreader to verify
it is locked.
5. Lift the blade guard cover just enough to slide
the table insert into the table slot over the blade,
then secure the insert in place with the lock
knob.
6. The blade guard, when properly installed,
should pivot freely up and down and return to
the table in the resting position. It should also
swing up high enough to accommodate the
workpiece.
7. Swing one side of the blade guard up and out of
the way.
8. While lifting on the right spreader pawl, place a
straightedge against the blade and the spreader,
making sure the straightedge does not touch a
blade tooth.
9. When properly aligned, the spreader/riving knife
will be in the "Alignment Zone," shown, and will
be parallel with the blade.
10. If the spreader/riving knife is not properly
aligned, then it needs to be adjusted. See
"Adjusting Alignment".
