When Not to Use the Blade Guard
Figure 41
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 personal injury in the
event of a kickback.
The pawls are sharp and can quickly
cut fingers and hands. Use caution, and
wear leather gloves when handling the
pawls to reduce the risk of injury.
Figure 42.
Whenever the blade guard and spreader
cannot be used, the riving knife must
be used to avoid the risk of the kerf
binding on the blade and causing
kickback.
