Blade Guard
The term "blade guard" refers to the assembly
shown in
Figure 72.
Understanding Blade Guard
The guard encloses the top of the blade to reduce
the risk of accidental blade contact and to contain
flying chips or dust. When installed and properly
maintained, it is an excellent tool for reducing the
risk of injury when operating the table saw.
To ensure that the guard does its job effectively,
it MUST be centered over the blade and properly
adjusted to accommodate workpieces and main-
tain coverage over the blade after the workpiece
exits.
In general, the blade guard MUST be installed
on the saw for all cuts (see
Owner's Manual on
Page 14).
Sometimes the guard or its components can get
in the way when cutting very narrow workpieces
or during other specialized cuts. Loosen the lock
knob shown in
Figure 72 all the way to move the
guard out of the way. Because the guard is pro-
vided to decrease your risk of injury, it should not
be used if it gets in the way of making a safe cut.
Use good judgment!
When to Use Blade Guard
The blade guard MUST remain installed on the
saw, unless a specific operation requires its
removal. If the blade guard is removed for specific
operations, always immediately replace it after
those operations are complete.
For Your Own Safety Read Instruction
Manual Before Operating Saw
a) Wear eye protection.
b) Use saw-blade guard for every operation
for which it can be used.
c) Keep hands out of the line of saw blade.
d) Use a push-stick when required.
e) Pay particular attention to instructions
on reducing risk of kickback.
f) Do not perform any operation freehand.
g) Never reach around or over saw blade.
Adjusting Blade Guard
Loosen the adjustment bolts (see
Figure 72)
and adjust the guard so the distance between
the blade and both side covers is equal, then re-
tighten the bolts.
Manually raise or lower the blade guard so the
distance from the table is equal to the thickness
of the workpiece.
Every time the blade guard is re-installed, you
must verify that it functions correctly before mak-
ing a cut.
