The blade guard is positioned by loosening the guard
clamp screw and rotating the guard so that the nose just
clears the workpiece as shown.
This is necessary:
— to protect operator from accidentally contacting the
sawblade radially from the Infeed direction.
— to hold down the workpiece against the table —
minimizing
lifting
or
fluttering
(particularly
thin
and/or light workpieces);
— to minimize sawdust thrown toward the operator.
— to minimize the possibility of a thin pusher board
riding up on top of the workpiece with loss of control
of workpiece.
The antikickback and spreader assembly is used during
ripping
operations
and
is
adjustable
to
accommodate
the thickness of the board being ripped. A wing screw
in the guard secures the assembly.
These adjustments are necessary:
Antikickback
— to stop a kickback if generated.
Spreader
— to prevent kerf from closing in on sawblade and
possible kickback;
—
to prevent "wrong-way feed". "Wrong-way feed" is
feeding the workpiece — when sawblade is in a rip
position — into the outfeed side of the cutting tool
(sawblade,
dado,
molding
head,
etc,),
the
side
containing
the
antikickback/spreader.
This
can
be
extremely hazardous because the sawblade may grab
the workpiece and throw it violently toward the nose
of the guard (infeed side of the tool). Danger label on
guard.
"Wrong-way feed" occurs when the teeth themselves
cut, or attempt to cut, a kerf in the workpiece. This
differs from a "kickback" which is generated by the
sides (one or both) of the teeth, because of binding
between the fence (heel), pinching of the sides of the
sawblade (failure to use spreader), and/or inadequate
set of teeth of sawblade.
— to act as a partial guard regarding accidental contact
with the sawblade at the outfeed side when ripping,
and leading edge when crosscutting.

Loosen the wing screw and with the tab provided,
position
the
antikickback
and
spreader
assembly
until
the
pawl
assumes
approximately
the
position
shown
above. Tighten the wing screw.
(Make sure by trial before starting the cut that the
antikickback
pawls
will
stop
a
kickback
once
it
has
started).
Insert
workpiece
alongside
spreader
under
outer set of pawls by approaching pawls in the feed
direction. Push workpiece sharply in the direction of a
kickback
(opposite
to
direction
of
feed).
Readjust
Pawls if they do not stop the kickback motion by biting
into the workpiece.
