9. Blade Guard
& Antikickback/Spreader
Assembly
--
Positioning
for Ripping.
WARNING:
NEVER
POSITION
THE
GUARD
OR
ANTIKICKBACK/SPREADER
ASSEMBLY
WITH
THE
SAW
RUNNING,
NEVER
POSITION
THE
ANTIKICKBACK/SPREADER
ASSEMBLY
BY
GRASPING
THE
PAWLS
OR SPREADER;
USE THE
TAB
LOCATED
ON THE
ANTIKICKBACK
BAR.
A. The Blade Guard
is positioned
by loosening
the guard
clamp
screw
and
rotating
the
guard
so that
the
"nose"
just clears
the workpiece
as shown.

This adjustment
is necessary
to:
1 ) Protect
the operator
from
accidentally
contacting
the sawblade
from
the "infeed'"
direction.
2) Prevent
the workpiece
from
being
lifted
from
the
table
by the sawblade
thus
minimizing
lifting
or
fluttering
(particularly
with
thin
and/or
light
workpieces).
3) Minimize
sawdust
from
being
thrown
toward
the
operator.
4) Minimize
the possibility
of a thin
pusher
board
from
riding
up on top of the workpiece
leading
to
loss of control
of the workpiece.

g.
The
antikickback
and
spreader
assembly
is used
during
ripping
operations
and
is
adjustable
to
accommodate
the
thickness
of
the
board
being
ripped.
The
antikickback
and
spreader
assembly
is
positioned
by loosening
the wing
screw
and with
the
tab
provided,
positioning
the
antikickback
and
spreader
assembly
until
the
pawl
assumes
approximately
the position
shown
above. Tighten
the
wing
screw.

Make
sure by trial -- without
saw running
-- before
starting the cut that the antikickback
pawls will stop a
kickback
once
it
has
started.
Insert
workpiece
alongside
spreader
under
outer
set
of pawls
by
approaching
pawls
in
the
feed
direction.
Push
workpiece
sharply
in the
direction
of a kickback
(opposite
to direction
of feed). Readjust
Pawls if they
do not stop
the kickback
motion
by biting
into the
workpiece.
These
adjustments
when
properly
made
will:
Antikickback
Pawls
1. Stop a kickback
if generated.
Spreader
1. Reduce
possibility
of kickback
by preventing
the kerf
from
closing
on the sawblade.
2. Prevent
"wrong-way
feed".
"Wrong-way
feed"
is
feeding
the workpiece
- when
the sawblade
is in a rip
position
- into
the
out
feed
side
of the
cutting
tool
(sawblade,
dado,
molding
head,
etc,),
the
side
containing
the
antikickback/spreader.
This
can
be
extremely
hazardous
because
the sawblade
may grab
the workpiece
and throw
it violently
toward
the nose of
the guard (infeed
side of the tool). See DANGER
label on
the outfeed
side of the guard
just below
the dust elbow.
"'Wrong-way
feed"
differs
from
"kickback."
A
"kickback"
is generated
by the sides (one or both)
of the
teeth,
because
of binding
between
the
fence
(heel),
pinching
of the sides
of the
sawblade
(failure
to use
spreader),
a dull blade,
and/or
inadequate
set of teeth
of
sawblade.
3. Act as a partial
guard
regarding
accidental
contact
with
the sawblade
at the outfeed
side when
ripping,
and the
leading
edge
when
crosscutting."
