Assembly

Check your safety shield against the diagrams in Figure 1. The shield should slide up and down on the bracket when a small amount of force is applied. If the shield is too loose, it will not stay in the retracted position (pulled up and towards the operator). Tighten the shield to the bracket as needed. Be careful not to overtighten and crack the shield.

Installation and Use

1. Position the shield on top of the twin cutter, aligning the threaded portion of the thumb screw with the mounting hole on top of the cutter.

2. Turn the thumb screw to start the threads into mounting hole. Hold the shield bracket in place and tighten the thumb screw securely.

3. Gently push the shield down until it stops against the bracket. This is the correct operating postion.

4. To retract the shield for work changes on the lathe, gently pull the shield up and towards you. The shield and mounting hardware will slide up to the top of the bracket and stop.
