I mounted the Uniguard splitter yesterday on my Delta CS. Pretty straight forward, but it seems to sit high. The tips of the pawls are about 5/16ths above the table top. Does anyone else use this splitter, and/or does this seem OK?

The mounting base is attached by bolts, so there is not a lot of adjusting room, especially vertically. The splitter itself has a bold on the side, the head of which fits into a slot in the base. There are "lips" on the bottom of the splitter that wrap around a plate that is squeezed to hold the splitter, by a knob. Everything seems to be in place, there is no movement of the splitter and it is in alignment with the blade. Would you file some on the pawls so they drop down lower, or should I leave it alone?
Thanks.
