ASSEMBLY
TO INSTALL BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY
See Figure 14.
Proper installation of the blade guard assembly means that
the saw blade and spreader are in alignment. ALWAYS align
the spreader to the saw blade prior to turning on the table
saw.

Lower the blade.
 Install the blade guard assembly to the mounting plate
using the wing nut. Partially retighten the wing nut. Check
the blade and spreader alignment.
NOTE: Blade alignment with the spreader can be adjusted
for different blade widths. Refer to:
To Check, and Align
the Spreader, Saw Blade, and Blade Guard Assembly in
the Adjustment section. Check the blade guard assembly
for clearances and free movement.
 Tighten wing nut securely.
TO INSTALL DUST BAG
See Figure 15.

Slide the elbow inside the dust chute on the back of the
table saw.
 Slide the dust bag into the elbow.
NOTE: For efficient operation, empty the dust bag before it
is half full. This will permit better air flow through the bag.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless.
Remember that a careless fraction of a second is suffi-
cient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating tools. Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes causing possible
serious injury.
