assembly (G) Fig. 34, to the rear splitter mounting
bracket. Align the hole in the blade guard and splitter
bracket with the hole in the rear splitter mounting
bracket. Insert a 5/16-18x5/8" carriage head screw
through the hole (J) in the blade guard and splitter
assembly and through the hole in the rear splitter
mounting bracket, place a 5/16" flat washer on the
carriage head screw, and fasten with a 5/16-18 hex nut,
and tighten securely. IMPORTANT: The splitter (G) Fig.
34, has a notch (L) cut in the top edge as shown. This
feature will enable the blade guard to stay in the raised
position to make blade changing easier. Raise the front
of blade guard (M) Fig. 35, until the rear edge of the
blade guard slips into notch (L) of splitter (G); the blade
guard will stay in this position.
