The guard should be secured to the riving knife by tightening
the locating pin wingnut. The guard should be positioned
so that the workpiece just slides under it, with the maximum
number of teeth possible shielded by the guard. Return the
guard to the original configuration when bevel, mitre or
compound cutting is completed. Recheck the operation
of the blade guard.
