Guard (9) firmly while you remove the Adjusting Pin (8). Then, raise or lower the 
Blade Guard (9) using one of the four adjusting holes and re-insert the Adjusting 
Pin (8) at the height you need. See

under the Blade (13). Be sure the brick is resting flatly on the Foam Pads (17) and 
is against the Depth Gauge (16).

handed operation. keep your other hand off the brick splitter and completely 
free of the operation until the brick is split and the handle (1) is raised again 
to it’s full height.
