the blade guard, when properly installed,
should look like figure 6 and should pivot
freely so it touches the table surface in the
down position. it should also swing up high
enough to accommodate the workpiece.

Check to make sure the blade is 90° to the
table. follow the instructions in the original
manual for setting the 90° stop bolt.
7.
swing one side of the blade guard up and out
of the way.

While lifting up on the right spreader pawl,
place a straightedge against the blade and
the spreader.
When properly aligned, the spreader/riving
knife will be in the "alignment zone," (figure
7) and will be parallel with the blade.

— if the spreader/riving knife is not inside the
alignment zone and not parallel with the
blade, then it needs to be adjusted (refer to
page 7).
— if the spreader/riving knife is not parallel
with the blade, it may be bent. proceed to
"Checking alignment" on page 7 to deter-
mine if the spreader/riving knife is bent.
anti-Kickback pawls
anti-kickback pawls allow the workpiece to travel
in only one direction. if the workpiece moves
backwards, such as from kickback, the pawls will
dig into the workpiece to slow or stop it.
to work properly, the pawls must return to their
bottom-most position after pivoting, as shown in
figure 8.
note: The right pawl is designed to tilt slightly
away from the blade guard assembly to prevent
the pawl from catching in the table insert.

if the pawls fail to return to the bottom position,
the pivot spring may have been dislodged or bro-
ken and will need to be fixed/replaced.
We do not recommend removing the pawls
during normal operations unless absolutely
necessary. in most situations, removing the
pawls will increase your risk of serious per-
sonal injury in the event of kickback.
