Model G0526A40 (Mfd. Since 12/22)
The cutterhead guard is designed to reduce the
risk of accidental contact with hands or fingers
with the spinning cutterhead. When properly
installed and functioning correctly, the guard auto-
matically rotates clear of the cutterhead during the
cutting operation and then springs back over the
cutterhead as soon as the operation is complete.
In order to function as intended, the guard must
be installed as low as possible over the infeed
table without actually touching it (approximately
1
⁄
16
" above infeed table), and it must have enough
spring tension at the mounting shaft to quickly
reposition itself against the fence after it is rotated
away from the cutterhead and released. Before
performing rabbeting operations, adjust guard
height to just clear outfeed table.
