1.  Guide the blade guard carriage between the rails

on the blade guard.

2.  Lift the blade guard over the blade and hang the 

guard in the blade guard guide on the saw.  Exercise 
care so that the runners on the blade guard are 
positioned in the slots on the water block.

the guard.  When the guard needs to be removed, 
press the handle in towards the guard.
