1. Screw the threaded end of the support shaft
into the hole in the back of the rear trunnion.
The check nut on the shaft will be used to
tighten the shaft in place as shown in
Figure
25 . Leave it loose for now.
2. Loosen the blade-guard mounting bolt locat-
ed just inside the table cut-out and the blade
guard mounting bolt on the end of the sup-
port shaft.
Figure 25. Installing blade guard.
3. Slip the slots at the bottom of the guard over
the two mounting bolts as shown in
Figure
26 . The washers should be between the bolt
head and the slots. Rotate the support shaft
to align the mounting bolts to the mounting
slots on the guard.
Figure 26. Blade guard components.
4. Tighten the mounting bolts to secure the
blade guard.
5. Using a machinist's or a combination square,
align the face of the splitter perpendicular to
the surface of the saw table as shown in
Figure 27 . Rotate the support shaft slightly.
This will normally correct any minor mis-
alignment.

6. Next, set a straightedge against the face of
the saw blade and the blade guard/splitter as
shown in
Figure 28 . If the blade guard/split-
ter is properly aligned, please skip ahead to
the next section; otherwise, continue with the
next step.
The saw blade is extremely sharp. Use extra
care when handling the blade or working
near it. Serious injury is possible.
