Smart Guard System
The Bosch Smart
Guard has been designed
for modularity,
enabling
the use of multiple
combinations
of the three
main
components
- Main barrier guards, Anti-kickback
device, and
riving knife. Additionally, the riving knife can be quickly adjusted
to three positions (high, middle, and stored), depending
on the
application requirement.
Component
Parts (figure
32):
@ Riving Knife
The Riving Knife is the central element of the Bosch Smart
Guard blade guarding
system,
serving
as the attachment
point for both the Main Barrier Guard and the Anti-Kickback
Device. In the event that the Main Barrier Guard and Anti-
Kickback Device are removed, the Riving Knife maintains its
functionality
as material
splitter, and is adjustable
to three
positions. Because of this adjustability,
the Riving Knife can
be appropriately
positioned for all cutting applications.
Main Barrier Guard
The main guard is comprised
of a pair of plastic barriers
attached to the metal upper barrier guard. The side barriers
(one to the left and one to the right of the blade) operate
independently
of one another,
maintaining
maximum blade
coverage
during
cutting
operations.
The main
guard
incorporates
a quick-connect
attachment
point and can be
attached
or removed
from the blade
guarding
system
independent of the Anti-Kickback
Device and Riving Knife.
Note:
To best secure the main guard for transport, adjust
the blade to its lowest position. This keeps the guard tight
to the table surface and prevents damage related to the
guard swinging during transport.
Anti=Kickback Device
In the event of kickback,
the Anti-Kickback
Device, (also
known as dogs, or pawls) is intended
to help prevent the
board from being thrown in the direction
of the user. The
sharp teeth of the pawls are intended to "catch" the material
in the event of kickback.
Attachment/Removal
(see page 26 for detailed instructions)
The three
primary
components
of the Smart
Guard
blade
guarding system are designed for rapid attachment, adjustment,
and/or removal without the need for additional tools.
The Main Barrier Guard component
can be quickly attached and
detached through the use of a quick release lever. The guard is
attached by seating the crossbar into the top of the Riving Knife
and engaging
the locking
lever.
Following
this
process
in
