Anti-Kickback Fingers
The Model W1754 provides an anti-kickback system as a
safety feature. The anti-kickback fingers hang from a rod
suspended across the cutter headstock. The anti-kickback
fingers should be inspected regularly.
Check the fingers ( Figure 37) to ensure that they swing
freely and easily. If the fingers do not swing freely and
easily, clean them with a wood resin solvent.
Figure 37. Anti-kickback fingers.
Do not apply oil or other lubricants to the anti-kickback
fingers. Oil or grease will attract dust, restricting the free
movement of the fingers.
Proper operation of the anti-kickback fingers is essen-
tial for the safe operation of this machine. Failure to
ensure that they are working properly could result in
serious operator injury.
