Blade Guard
Assembly
The term "blade guard" refers to the assembly
that consists of the clear polycarbonate shield, the
spreader, and the anti-kickback pawls on each
side of the spreader (see Figure 50). Each of
these components has important safety functions
during the operation of the saw.

Guard
The clear polycarbonate guard allows the opera-
tor to watch the blade cut the workpiece during
operation. This guard is designed to lift as the
workpiece is pushed into the blade and remain in
contact with the workpiece throughout the entire
cut.
The guard reduces injury risk by providing a bar-
rier around the blade that prevents accidental
contact and contains flying wood chips.
To ensure that the guard does its job effectively,
the guard must always be in the downward posi-
tion against the table during idle operation, and
the hinge mechanism must be maintained in good
working condition so the guard can freely pivot
up and down to accommodate the height of the
workpiece and return to the table surface.
2. Raise arbor all the way up, remove blade
guard, table insert (leave Phillips head screws
mounted in table throat), and spreader/riving
knife.
Note: Table insert is held in place by magnet.
3. Use included arbor wrenches to loosen and
remove arbor nut, flange, and blade (see
Figure 48). Arbor nut has right hand threads;
turn counterclockwise to loosen.

facing the correct direction.
4. Install new blade, flange and arbor nut on
arbor, as shown in Figure 49, with teeth fac-
ing front of the saw.
