Assembling Your Saw
Installing the Blade Guard Limit Rod
9. The next step in assembling your saw is to install the blade guard limit rod on the blade guard. The blade guard
limit rod prevents material that is taller than the height of the blade from entering the blade guard and engaging
the blade.
Locate the blade guard and the blade guard limit rod. The limit rod fi ts roughly horizontally along the blade
guard as shown in Fig. 32.
To install the limit rod, hold the rod vertical with the open ends pointed downward as shown in Fig. 33. The two
open ends of the limit rod fi t into holes at the top, back of the blade guard (see Fig. 34) which allow the limit rod
to pivot. Pull the ends of the rod apart just enough to fi t each end of the limit rod into the holes at the back of
the blade guard. Make sure that the “V” shaped wood stop at the end of the limit rod is oriented so that the tip
of the “V” will be pointed downward when the limit rod is pivoted downward to a horizontal position along the
blade guard. Once the ends of the limit rod are in place, pivot the limit rod downwards as shown in Fig. 35.
