the access hole (2) of throat plate in the table. Hook
the lower blade pin in the pin recess in the lower
blade holder (3) and then the upper blade pin in the

blade holder knobs.

BLADE GUARD FOOT ADJUSTMENT (Fig. O, P)
NOTE: User must keep constant downward pressure
on workpiece when cutting. The blade guard foot is not
designed to hold down the workpiece, but is rather to

be adjusted so it is parallel to the table and rests flat
above the workpiece.
1. To adjust, loosen the blade guard screw (2) with hex
wrench, tilt the foot so it is parallel to table and tight-
en the screw.
2. Loosen the blade guard foot lock knob (3- Fig. P) to
raise or lower the foot until it rests slightly above the
workpiece. Tighten blade guard foot lock knob.
