Two (2) plastic chip guards are provided. The Front Chip Guard
should always be tted and the Footplate Chip Guard can be tted
to the machine as and when required.
• Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the power supply
• The front guard (Fig. 9) clips over the front of the machine, below
the laser guide and in front of the steel blade guard.
Note: This guard is precisely engineered and designed to just clip
into place. There is sufcient ‘spring’ in the design to allow the guard
to be carefully positioned into its service position. The operator
should use care and ensure that the guard is not ‘forced’ into place
with the attendant risk of damage to the guard. Seat the guard
carefully in its service position.
The Footplate Chip Guard (Fig. 10) can be useful when cutting long
straight lines. The use of this guard will help prevent the sawblade
from swinging during a cut.
• Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the power supply.
• Unclip the plastic Footplate Shoe from the Footplate.
• Clip the Footplate Chip Guard into the inside of the Footplate
Shoe with the ‘Vee’ pointing towards the rear of the shoe, and the
raised platform positioned within the throat of the shoe. Ensure
positive location within the shoe. The guard should lie ‘ush’ with
both surfaces of the shoe.
• Carefully replace the Footplate Shoe with the attached Chip
Guard onto the Footplate.
