Important: To work properly, the spreader must always
be parallel to the sawblade and adjusted so the cut work-
piece will pass on either side of the spreader without
binding or skewing to the side
NOTE: The spreader is thinner than the width of the kerr
by approximately six thicknesses of paper
8 Make two folds in a smaII piece (6 x 6 inch) of ordinary
newspaper making three thicknesses.
The folded paper will be used as "spacing gauge"..
9 Raise blade to maximum height and make sure blade
is square to the saw table.
10. Install the spreader clamp using t/4-20 x 5/8 truss
head screws, lockwashers, and wing nuts Place
spreader between spreader clamp and bracket. Move
spreader forward until all three are in line. Tighten
wing screws
11 Lilt up both anti-kickback pawls Insert set screw
wrench or a pencil into notches to hold the pawls out
of the way
12. Lay a piece of straight flat wood against the saw-
blade Insert folded paper between spreader and strip
of wood.
13 Make sure the hex nuts underneath are loose
14 Hold the spreader tightly against the wood and make
sure the wood is against the sawblade Tighten the
hex nuts.
This will align the spreader in the middle of the cut
(kerf) made by sawbtade
NOTE: To remove the guard for non-through cuts, loosen
the wing nuts and slide the guard back and upward off
the spreader bracket Do not disturb the setting of the
spreader bracket
When replacing the guard, slide the spreader down and
forward between the spreader clamp and spreader
bracket until it rests as shown, make sure wing nuts are
tightened securely This lets yell remove and replace the
guard without disturbing the spreader alignment.
