Anti-Kickback Pawls And Blade Guard - Porter-Cable PCX362010 Instruction Manual

If adjustment is needed, remove the throat plate and
adjust the (4) Phillips set screws (Fig. 16a) up or down
as needed. See Fig. 16. Replace throat plate and
recheck. Repeat this process as needed until the throat
plate is level.
• It is important that the throat plate is properly
adjusted to the table. This ensures that the work
piece is not caught on the throat plate or the table
when feeding the work piece through the blade
during a cut.
ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS
AND BLADE GUARD
Riving knife (O) must be in the Through Cut position
prior to installation of the anti-kickback pawls (D) and
guard (E). See Fig. 17 and 18.
Insert the pawl assembly (D) into the middle slot on
the riving knife (O) as shown in Fig. 17 while pressing
the spring-loaded pin on the right side of the pawl
assembly.
Once inserted, release the spring-loaded pin so that it
pops back in to place (Fig. 17a). Ensure that it is locked
in place.
While holding the blade guard assembly (E) in a vertical
position, as shown in Fig. 18, pull the blade guard
assembly pin all the way up into the rear slot on the
riving knife.
Rotate the blade guard assembly all the way down so
that the arms are parallel to the table (Fig. 18a). Then
lock the blade guard in place by depressing the lock
tab (Fig. 18b).
• Do not hold lock tab in the lock position while
installing the blade guard.
• After engaging lock tab to lock blade guard in place
