CONNECTING TO A DUST
COLLECTOR
CX202 features a 4” diameter dust port to
connect to a dust collector. When
connecting to a dust collector, use a proper
sized hose and make sure all the
connections are sealed tightly.
It is recommended to use a proper sized
dust collector with the CX202 to ensure
adequate dust collection.

BLADE GUARD
The blade guard assembly on your CX202
consists of a clear polycarbonate shield,
spreader and anti-kickback pawls.
The clear polycarbonate guard allows the
operator to see the blade cutting the work-
piece during the cutting operation. The
guard covers the blade on both sides and
lifts up as the work-piece is fed into the
blade and returns to the table surface when
the work-piece has passed through the
blade. It prevents flying wood chips which
can injure the operator and it also prevents
from accidental contacts of objects with the
blade.
At the back side of the guard there is a
metal plate called a spreader. The spreader
prevents the kerf of the work-piece from
pinching the blade and causing kick back.
The kick back pawls are designed such that
they allow the work-piece to move only
forward. During the cutting operation if the
work-piece moves backward, the anti kick
back pawls will dig into it and stop it.
RIVING KNIFE
The riving knife is a metal plate which
prevents the newly cut work-piece from
pinching at the backside of the blade and
causing kickback. Basically the riving knife
does the same job as the spreader. But the
main difference is that the riving knife is
installed below the blade height while the
spreader is installed higher than the blade.
WARNING
The fine dust particles produced by the
table saw can go into your lungs and
cause serious respiratory problems.
Make sure to wear a dust mask and
connect the table saw to a proper dust
collection system while operating it.
WARNING
Dust particles moving through the hose,
create static electricity. Ensure that you
use a grounding kit to dissipate the static
charge.
