Maintenance

Replacing Pawls

Make sure the teeth of the pawls are always
sharp. If they become dull the pawls must be
replaced:
1. Use 7/16" wrench to remove hex nut.
Remove old pawls.
2. Install new pawls. Place spacers exactly
as shown.
3. Re-install hex nut.
4. Check that pawls work freely.

Lubricating Blade Guard Assembly

If guard becomes difficult to raise:

1. Clean sawdust from the slot and slider.
2. Regrease with a small amount of light
grease applied to the slot and slider. Also
add a thin coat of grease between the Trig-
ger and the Pull Link.
