EXOA-2 BLADE COVER
DUST COLLECTOR
Installation
The
EXAKTOR
®
BladeCover/Dust Collector has been designed to fit most table saws with its vertical Mast installed at
either the right or left hand side of the machine. In most cases the vertical mast will be installed at the right hand end of the
saw’s table or table extension, close to the rear edge of the table.
Mast Assembly
1.
With the Lower Mast (#1) resting on the floor, insert it into the bottom end of the Upper Mast (#2).
Adjust the overall length of the Lower and Upper Masts to where the top edge of the slotted Mounting Bracket,
that is welded on the side of the Upper Mast, will be just below the top surface of the saw’s table or table
extension. Lock the two Masts together with a Locking Knob (#3).
2.
Carefully place the slotted mounting bracket against the edge of the saw table, or table’s extension, close to
the rear
edge of the table. Make sure there is clearance behind the edge of the table to accommodate the Backing Plate
(#15). Its two threaded holes must line-up with the slot in the mounting bracket
.
3.
Using the slots in the Mounting Bracket as a
template, drill a 1/4” hole at the top of each slot,
through the edge of the table. Using two Locking
Levers (#4) and the Backing Plate (#15), fasten
the Mounting Bracket to the edge of the table.
4.
The diagonal brace is used to hold the
vertical mast in position. Use a ¼-20 x 1¼” Hex
Head Bolt (#6), Washer (#7) and ¼-20 Nut (#8)
to attach one end of the Mast Brace (#5) to the
bracket at the bottom end of the Lower Mast
(#1).
5.
Position the assembled Lower and Upper
Mast so
that it is vertical to the floor and square to the
surface of the saw table. Determine where to
place the
unfastened end of the Mast Brace up under the
rear edge of the saw’s table, or table extension so
that when the brace is fixed in place, and the
turnbuckle is tightened, the assembled Mast will
be held vertical and square to the table surface
and will not shift from that position. Drill an
appropriate hole in the rear edge of the saw table
or table extension and attach the
upper end of the
Mast Brace to the edge of the underside of the table.
Use Hex Head Bolt (#6), Washer (#7) and Nut (#8).
