ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS AND BLADE GUARD

ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS

To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,

anti-kickback pawls must be in place when

making a through cut.

1. Refer to Figure 19 and locate the anti-kickback pawls mounting slot (A) in the middle of the top edge of the riving knife.

2. Slide slot in the middle of the anti-kickback pawls assembly along the top of the riving knife until the stem (B) locates the

center slot on the riving knife.

3. Depress the stem on the anti-kickback pawls assembly (B) to allow the assembly to drop into the slot. Push down on the anti-

kickback pawls assembly until it snaps into place and locks. Release stem. NOTE: Pull up on the anti-kickback pawls to make

sure it is locked in place.

To remove the anti-kickback pawls, depress the stem (B) and

pull the anti-kickback assembly off the riving knife.

FIGURE 19B

If blade guard is not parallel to table, riving knife is not in raised (through cut) position. Raise and lower each side of the blade

guard to verify free movement of the guard system. Be sure the guard system can be raised enough to clear your workpiece.

Note: Blade alignment with riving knife can be adjusted. See: Checking and Aligning Riving Knife and Saw Blade, page 41.

Check the blade guard for clearances and free movement.
