MQ PS4030 SAW — BLADE GUARDS
Blade Guard
The Blade Guards can be mounted on either side of the saw to
accomodate different cutting jobs.
Removing a Blade Guard:
1. Remove the water delivery hose from the Blade Guard.
(See Figure 15.)
NOTE
The saw utilizes a tapered Blade
Guard mounting clip that, during
operation, settles in the taper by the
weight of the guard locking itself into
place providing a rigid, rattle-free fit.
NOTE
Blade Guards 36" or larger are
equipped with a removable hinge pin
which allows the front half of the
Blade Guard to be easily removed.
The rear half then is removed by
sliding it toward the back rather than
upward. Installation is a reverse of
this process.
Figure 16. Removing The Blade Guard
2. Standing toward the back of the blade guard, grasp the top
handle firmly with your outboard hand (this will be the right
hand if the guard is mounted on the right as viewed from
the operator's position), and prepare to support the weight
of the blade guard. (Figure 16.)
3. With the opposite hand grasp the rear handle and rock
back and forth with an upward pressure to release the Blade
Guard tapered mounting clip. (See NOTE above for Blade
Guards 36" or larger.) Lift straight up then pull back once
the tapered lock is released. Install Blade Guard in reverse
order.
