3. Pull the cutterhead guard backward to ten-
sion the spring, then—while holding tension
on the guard—move the fence into regular
operating position and release the guard
against the fence.
4. Test the guard. When pulled back and
released, the guard should spring back over
the cutterhead and stop against the fence.
—If the guard does not spring back over the
cutterhead or drags across the table, rein-
stall it, making sure there is tension on the
shaft when it is installed, so it will spring
back over the fence.
