Installation Instructions for 
Models A100-16

The Brett-Guard Band Saw Guard installation will vary slightly depending 

on the make, model, and size of the tool. Installation will include attaching 

housing, bracket and enclosed hardware to the guide bar of the tool. Follow 

these steps to installation:
1.  Lower guide bar of the band saw down to the table top.
2.  Slide plexi-shield into top position on the housing (End with cord). Hold 

plexi-shield in place by tightening the wing nut on the front of the guard.

3.  Slip (2) 1/4” - 20 x 3/4” carriage bolts into the slot on the back of the 

short leg of mounting bracket to the carriage bolts with flat washers, lock 

washers and 1/4” - 20 nuts. Finger tighten only.

4.  Attach mounting bracket and housing to guide bar, using U-bolts placed 

around the guide bar, through the mounting bracket and secure in place 

with flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts. Finger tighten only.

 

NOTE:

 In environments which require frequent blade changes, above hex 

nuts can be replaced with wing nuts.

5.  Adjust shield left or right on mounting bracket to center guard on the 

blade. Housing should be mounted as low as possible. Secure in place. 

Shield should be approximately 1” to 1.5” from the front of the saw blade.

 

NOTE:

 Brett-Guard housing will be tilted out at the top. Raise guide 

bar up to check that the shield will clear the saw blade at the maximum 

cut setting.
