 Remove the pan head screw from the bottom of the cutter
head guard post.
 Turn the spring-loaded knob one turn counterclockwise,

 While looking down through the hole in the infeed table,
align the slot in the guard post with the spring in the knob.
Slide the post through infeed table and over the spring in
the knob.
NOTE: The cutter guard stop post limits the amount of
cutter guard travel. Never modify the stop post or remove
cutter guard before any operation.
 Reinstall the pan head screw in the bottom of the guard
post.
CUTTER GUARD FUNCTIONAL CHECK
With the power off, check the guard to make sure it is func-
tioning properly.
WARNING:
Cutter guard helps provide protection over the
cutter head. It must always be in place and
functioning properly to avoid injury from contact
with the cutter head.
 Position the fence to the rear of the bed for maximum
width of cut. Do not position fence beyond rear edge of
cutter knives.
 Pass a 1/4 in. thick piece of wood over the cutter head
between the guard and the fence.
The guard must return automatically to a "rest position"
against the fence when free of the wood. If guard does not
return quickly, adjust the guard spring, as described in the
adjustments section.
CUTTER GUARD STOP POST
The cutter guard stop post is designed to limit the outward
swing of the cutter head guard. If the stop post does not
stop the outward swing of the guard, the post is inserted
too deeply. Tap the cutter guard stop post from up under the
table with a punch or nail set. Tap the post slightly to adjust
for proper clearance and function.
