Setting Up
Your Saw
To install the blade guard, first pivot the large anti-kickback
pawls upwards and guide them into the catches on either
side of the guard to hold them out of the way (see Fig. 15).
Next, position the spreader in the clamp and flat against the
base plate. The positioning pins will automatically align the
spreader in the correct position.
For instructions on the operation and use of the blade guard and the riving knife, please see page 34.
Note: both the spreader and the riving knife are 2.3 mm (0.090 in.) thick. Do not use a saw blade with a kerf
less than 2.3 mm with these tools. (The kerf of a saw blade is the width of the cut produced by the blade.)
WARNING!
Use the blade guard and spreader for every operation for
which it can be used, including all through-sawing.
Setting Up Your Saw
Lower the clamping handle completely to lock the spreader in place (see Fig. 16). After you have installed the
table insert as described on page 22, lower the large anti-kickback pawls back down until they touch the table
insert.
If the clamping handle is difficult to lower, make
sure the spreader is positioned flat against the
base plate.
To remove the guard, use the same procedure
as removing the riving knife. Similarly, to install
the riving knife, use the same procedure as
installing the guard.
The clamping force used to hold the spreader
and riving knife in place can be increased if the
spreader and riving knife are not held securely,
or decreased if too much force is required to
lower the clamping handle. See page 66 for
instructions on adjusting the clamping force.
