EXOA-2 BLADE COVER/DUST COLLECTOR

Your

EXAKTOR

 EXOA OverArm Blade Cover/Dust Collector can be used with most table 

saws. Coupled to an appropriate dust collection system, the OverArm Blade Cover/Dust Collector 
helps control airborne dust thrown up by the revolving saw blade.  

The EXOA-2 features a counter-balanced Guard Basket that accommodates saw blades up to 16” 
in diameter, raised up to 4” above the table and tilted for cuts to 45 degrees. You can be quickly 
position the Guard Basket to suit the saw blade and the material being cut, and it is equipped to 
accommodate the splitter and anti-kick-back pawls that are installed on your table saw. When you 
are changing blades the telescopic Boom and Guard Basket will swing easily out of the way. 

The top surface and sides of the steel framed Guard Basket have shatterproof Lexan

¥

 lenses, 

which give you a clear view of the saw blade at all times. The ‘baffling’ effect of the Guard 
Basket and the flexible hose connecting the Guard Basket to the telescopic Boom makes dust 
extraction very efficient. 

Installation is exceptionally easy. The vertical mast stands on the floor and is adjustable to the 
height of the saw table. 

The mast is fastened to the side of the saw table or table extension with two quick release levers. 
For quick removal, these levers release the upper part of the mast. The mast supports a telescopic 
four-inch diameter boom equipped for coupling to a 4” vacuum hose. The boom length is 
adjustable to allow the saw fence to be positioned up to 70” from the saw blade.
