bracket designed to protect the motor assembly
during shipping. Remove the bracket shown in
Figure 11.
4. If the blade guard/splitter is to the right of the
blade as shown in Figure 15, simply add
washers between the splitter and front
mounting bracket, and adjust the rear splitter
support as shown in Figure 16.
3. Next, set a straightedge against the face of
the saw blade and the blade guard/splitter as
shown in Figure 14. If the blade guard/split-

continue with the next step.
