Lower the saw blade to lowest position and replace table insert.

ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS INSTALLATION

(Fig. 12)
Anti-kickback pawls should only be installed for through
cuts.
Turn saw off and unplug saw.
Set the blade angle to 0°.
Raise the saw blade to maximum height by turning
height-adjusting knob clockwise.
Lock the blade by turning bevel locking lever
clockwise.
Place the riving knife in the uppermost position.
Pull out and hold knob (1). Align slot in anti-kickback
pawls (2) over the slot (3) marked of riving knife (4).
Place the spring pin (5) on the anti-kickback pawls (2)
into the slot marked on the riving knife (4).
Press anti-kickback pawls assembly down until it
snaps into place and release knob (1) to insert the pin
(6) into hole (7) marked on the riving knife (4).
WARNING!
Make sure the anti-kickback pawls are reinstalled immediately after finishing any non-through
cut operations which require their removal.
WARNING!
Replace dull or damaged anti-kickback pawls. Dull or damaged anti-kickback pawls may not
stop a kickback, increasing the risk of serious personal injury.
CAUTION!
Pull up on anti-kickback pawls assembly to make sure it is secured to riving knife.
WARNING!
Gently pull up the anti-kickback pawls assembly to ensure it is locked into place. Make sure
that the anti-kickback pawls move freely and are not stuck in the table insert slot.
WARNING!
Use extra caution when cutting wood products having slippery surfaces as the anti-kickback
pawls may not always be effective.

BLADE GUARD INSTALLATION (Fig. 13a-13b)
Turn saw off and unplug saw.
Pull out and hold the knob (1) on the blade guard.
Align the pin (2) with the hole (3) on the riving knife
(4), and place the pin (5) on the blade guard (6) into
the slot (7) marked on the riving knife (4).
Pull blade guard fully back onto riving knife. Release
the knob to lock guard into position.
If blade guard is not parallel to table when riving knife
is in uppermost position (through cuts), adjust the set
screw (8) with 2.5 mm hex key (not supplied) as
necessary. (Fig. 13b)
WARNING!
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order for all through cut operations. Reinstall
the blade guard immediately after finishing any non-through cut operations which require
removal of the blade guard. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING!
Always install the blade guard onto the riving knife in the uppermost position to provide
proper blade coverage. Installing the blade guard 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!
When using the blade guard, lift the left and right blade guard and make sure that they
move independently and contact the table surface. The blade guard can be raised to
adjust the cut line, but it must be lowered to contact the table surface before starting the
saw.
WARNING!
Make sure blade guard and anti-kickback pawls move freely before starting the saw.
Ensure the direction of rotation by verifying that the blade teeth point down toward
the front of the saw table.
