    Shark Guard dumb question. How to change ports?

    I had ordered the whatever generation it was SG and additional port, so I have both the 4" and 2.5" ports for the SG. In my cleanup / rearrangement of the shop I found the 4" port in my DC spares. I want to run the big port on it instead of the little one.

    It's been years so I just wanted to double check. Do I simply take the side plate off, and slide out / in the port panel and then put the side plate back on?

    I could be wrong, but I am figuring especially with the upgrade to 5", the blade guard is REALLY where I want the dust to be picked up from more so than the bottom of the saw...

    Basically, yes, you remove the screws around the dust port and slide it out the back.

    If your version is different, give them a call. I've had nothing but superior service from them.
