stallation portion and the retainer plate be-
hind the saw blade on the back side of the
table.
Tighten only temporarily the hex socket
head bolt on the safety guide installing por-
tion. Check to be sure that the saw blade
and spreader are on
a
straight line. If they
are not, use one or more of the adjust
washers provided on either side to obtain
the saw bladehpreader alignment.
NOTE
:
If the blade and spreader are not aligned properly,
a
dangerous pinch can result
when contact
is
made with the materials. MAKE
SURE
THEY ARE PROPERLY
ALIGNED.
There must be
a
clearance
of
12.7 mm
(1/2") or
less
between the spreader and the
blade teeth. Adjust the spreader according-
ly
before securing tightly the hex socket
head bolt. Attach the center cover on the
table, then check to
see
that the safety
guide works smooth.
