Ripping
11. Test spreader/pawl setting by push-
ing workpiece toward outfeed side to
see that workpiece moves freely, then
pulling toward infeed side to see that
pawl grabs. If these conditions are not
met, repeat steps 10 and 11 until they
are. Correct setting of pawls/spreader
reduces risk of kickback.
Testing Kickback Pawls
Push Pull
12. Use table extension of same height
as saw table to support cut workpiece. If
you do not, cut workpiece will sag and
could put binding pressure on blade, a
cause of kickback. Support outer ends
of extensions. Do not use another per-
son to support workpieces because this
can cause kickback.
13. Remove workpiece from table.
