Assembly
Verify that the guard barriers are functioning prop-
erly throughout the full range of motion: bevel and
blade height:
1 . With the Smart Guard System assembled, set
the blade to the maximum height .
2 . Raise both barriers (left and right) until they both
lock in their raised positions .
3 . Apply a downward force to release the barriers
from their locked position: both barriers should
be in contact with the table .
4 . Bevel the tool from 0° to 45° and then back to 0° .
The barriers should remain in contact with the
table top and should not contact the blade
throughout the complete motion .
5 . Lower the blade to the lowest cutting height:
both barriers should be in contact with the table .
6 . Repeat Step 4 with blade in lowest cutting
height position .
7 . If barriers do not remain in contact with tabletop
or if they contact the blade at any time, do not
use the saw . See the assembly section to make
sure that the blade guard is assembled properly
or have the saw serviced by an authorized ser-
vice center .
