Cutterhead Guard

1.

Remove the setscrew from the slot in the

end of the cutterhead guard shaft. 

2.

Rotate the spring housing clockwise (looking

at the face of the knob) 1 full turn and

insert the cutterhead shaft into the pivot

hole as shown in Figure 16. 

3.

Fit the shaft slot over the tang inside the

spring housing. The shaft should drop

through the bottom of the housing.

4.

When  installed, the cutterhead guard

should press firmly against the fence and

should be completely covering the cutter-

head as shown in Figure 17. 

5.

Move the cutterhead guard back and forth

to make sure that it automatically returns

back to its proper position against the fence

and over the cutterhead.

6.

Make sure the cutterhead guard has the

correct return pressure. If the pressure is

weak or there is no return pressure at all,

remove the shaft, tighten the spring housing

by rotating clockwise, and re-install the

shaft to check for proper operation.

7.

Replace the setscrew at the end of the

shaft, so that the cutterhead guard cannot

be removed from the pivot hole.
