21. With the bottom edge of the Guard Basket seated
squarely on the saw table, position the Boom Clamp
(#29) approximately 2” in on the open end of the
Small Boom Tube (#13). Secure by using a T-Knob
(#30) with ¼-20x3½” Carriage Bolt (#39).

24. Adjust the length of the Boom Tubes to position
the Guard Basket over the saw blade. Lock the Tubes
in position with Knob (#3). Adjust the ¼-20xǪ”
Button Head Bolt (#21) installed on the underside the
outboard end of the Small Boom Tube to take-up any
play between the Small and Large Boom Tubes and
secure with the ¼-20 Jam Nut (#22).

26. Position the Guard Basket forward or backward,
over the saw blade, so that the opening to the Flexible
Hose is centered above the saw blade. Secure the
Guard Basket using the blade cover Lever (#35).
27. The rear of the Guard Basket has two vertical slots
to allow the basket to come down over a splitter
located behind the saw blade. Use the four 6-32x½”
Pan Head Screws (#46) to attach a Cover Plate (#36 or
#37) to cover one or both slots as desired.
28. Position the Counter Balance so that the weight of
the Guard Basket is easily raised when material can be
passed under the front Roller Wheel. For thicker
material raise the Guard Basket and place it on top of
the material. The roller wheels should just touch and
roll on the top surface of the material being cut.
29. If cutting work taller than the Guard Basket when
it’s raised to its highest position above the saw table,
the Guard Basket and Boom can be swung out of the
way by loosening the Locking Knob (#4) in the Boom
Saddle.
30. If the Mast is in the way when crosscutting longer
material, the Upper Mast and Boom assembly can be
easily removed by loosening the two Locking Levers
(#4) and the Locking Knob (#3) in the lower end of the
upper mast.
Optional Casters
An optional pair of casters is available for those who
want to have the ability to move the location of the
their table saw with the EXOA-2 Blade Cover
remaining attached to the saw. The plate at the bottom
of the mast has two holes in which the casters (#50)
can be easily installed.
