ASSEMBLY
TO INSTALL THE ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS AND
BLADE GUARD

WARNING:
Always install the blade guard and anti-kickback
pawls onto the riving knife in the "up" position
to provide proper blade coverage. Installing the
guarding components onto the riving knife in any
other position will prevent them from working
as designed, which could increase the risk of
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Replace dull or damaged anti-kickback pawls.
Dull or damaged pawls may not stop a kickback
increasing the risk of serious personal injury.
NOTE: Anti-kickback pawls should only be installed for
through cuts.
 Unplug the saw.
 Raise the blade by unlocking the height adjusting
handwheel and turning it clockwise.
 Place riving knife in "up" position.
To install anti-kickback pawls:
 Press and hold the button on the right side of the anti-
kickback pawls.
 Align the slot in the pawls over the rear notch in the riving
knife.
 Push the pawl handle down snapping them into place
and release the button.

locked.
