Blade Guard Assembly Figure 41 Figure 41. Guard Spreader In order to work properly, the spreader cannot be bent or misaligned with the blade. If the spreader gets accidentally bent, take the time to straighten it or just replace it. Using a bent or misaligned spreader will increase the risk of kickback! Refer to Page 64 to check or adjust alignment if...

Anti-Kickback Pawls Figure 46 Disabling Pawls We do not recommend disabling the pawls during normal operations unless absolutely necessary. In most situations, disabling the pawls will increase your risk of serious per- sonal injury in the event of a kickback. The pawls are sharp and can lacerate fin- gers or hands.
Riving Knife Figure 48 Figure 48. Figure 49 Figure 49 To ensure that the riving knife works safe- ly, it MUST be aligned with and correctly adjusted to the blade.

Blade Tilt/Bevel Cuts Page 60 Figure 53 Figure 53 Dado Cutting Figure 54 Dado Blade Figure 54. Installing a Dado Blade Dado blades have a higher risk of kickback than normal blades because their larger size applies stronger forces to the workpiece. This risk increases relative to the depth and width of the cut.

ALWAYS replace the blade guard after dadoing is complete. Figure Cutting Rabbets with a Dado Blade Figure 60 Figure 60.
Page 43
Workpieces that are too tall to properly sup- port with the fence can easily shift during operation and cause kickback. Instead, place the stock flat on the saw and perform the rabbet cut with a dado blade, as instructed on Page 40.
Page 44
Resawing on a table saw increases the chances of kickback. Serious injury can be caused by kickback. Kickback is a high- speed expulsion of stock from the table saw toward an operator. The operator or bystand- ers may be struck by flying stock, or the operator’s hands can be pulled into the blade...
Auxiliary Fence Components Needed for the Auxiliary Fence: Only use furniture grade plywood, kiln dried hard- wood, or or HDPE plastic to prevent warping. Tools Needed for the Resaw Barrier: To build the auxiliary fence: Note: Only use furniture grade plywood or kiln dried hardwood to prevent warping.
Page 46
Always use push sticks or push paddles to increase safety and control during opera- tions which require that the blade guard and spreader must be removed from the saw. ALWAYS replace the blade guard after resawing is complete. Figure 65 Figure 66.
We recommend using a bandsaw for making fingers in the next step because it tends to be safer. A table saw can be used, but it will over-cut the underside of the ends, produce a thicker kerf, and require you to stop the blade half-way through the cut, which can be dangerous.

Figure 68 Figure 68. Figure 69 Tip: Consider making the miter bar longer for larger featherboards—approximately half the length of the total featherboard—to support the force applied to the featherboard during use. Figure 69. Figure 70. Note: The routed slot, countersink hole, and the flat head screw are essential for the miter bar to clamp into the miter slot.

Mounting Featherboards w/Clamps Figure 71 Figure 71. Figure 71 Step 5 Mounting Featherboard in Miter Slot Figure 72 Figure 72. Step 4 Note: The featherboard should be placed firmly enough against the workpiece to keep it against the fence but not so tight that it is difficult to feed the workpiece.
