I have one of these and don't know where it installs. Can someone help me? I merely borrowed this pic from ebay.

Jack. That is the guard that goes on the table saw attachment.
If you are looking at your headstock. you have the front part of the guard which has the springs that move up and down with the height of the table, then your blade sits behind this. That picture you posted goes on next and attaches to protect the blade. I believe it attaches to the table itself, not the blade guard surrounding the saw blade arbor.
As for how it attaches, do you have a manual?

It attaches to the trunion bar on the side away from the headstock. There should be rotating fasteners or screws attached to the trunion bar.

Got it thanks guys.
I got my SS from a guy at church. The main stuff was all together, but there was a box of parts and this was one of them. I need to find an upper saw guard or a least a rivving knife set up. I remember kick back from my high school days 50+ years ago.
