5. Position the blade guard arm (7) to the rear of the
table.
6. Using a straight edge, check to see if the blade guard
splitter (8) is aligned with the saw blade (9).
7. If straightening adjustment is necessary, loosen the
bolt (3) and shift the splitter assembly to right or left,
or rotate.
8. When the splitter is properly aligned with the saw
blade, tighten the bolt tightly.
9. If height adjustment is necessary, loosen the bolts (11)
and raise the splitter assembly to the desired height
and tighten the bolts. (Fig. K)
10.
NOTE: The splitter must always be correctly aligned
so that the cut workpiece will pass on either side
without binding or twisting to the side.
WARNING
Improper splitter alignment can cause "kickback" and
serious injury.

NOTES:
For illustration purposes the view in Fig. N looks
"through" the saw table to the under side of the table.
The right hand table extension is the one with the
measuring scale (1) visible from the front of the saw
when it is installed to the right hand side of the saw
table (Fig. N).
2. Open both front and rear cam locking levers (2) on the
right hand side of the saw base by pulling them out
from the cam locking assemblies (4).
3. Insert the table extension mounting tubes (3) into the
two matching holes in the cam lever assemblies.
NOTE: Make sure the front mounting tube has the
measuring scale visible from the front of the saw.
4. Slide the table extension toward the table until it rests
against the saw table.
5. Lock both cam locking levers by pushing them in
toward the cam locking lever assemblies.
