nut is securely tightened. Do not overtighten.

TO INSTALL THE ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS AND
BLADE GUARD
See Figures 15 - 17.
WARNING:
Replace dull or damaged anti-kickback pawls. Dull or
damaged pawls may not stop a kickback increasing the
risk of serious personal injury.
Anti-kickback pawls should only be installed for through
cuts.
 Unplug the saw.
 Raise the saw blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting
handwheel clockwise.
 Place riving knife in "up" position.
 Reinstall the throat plate.
To install anti-kickback pawls:
 Press and hold the button on the left side of the anti-
kickback pawls.
 Align the slot in the pawls over the rear hole in the riving
knife.
 Push the pawl handle down snapping them into place
and release the button.
NOTE: Pull on the pawl handle to make sure pawls are
securely locked.
To install blade guard:
 Lift the guard lever up to unlock.
 With the front of the blade guard raised, lower the back
of the guard into the middle hole of the riving knife. Push
the front of the guard down until it is parallel to the table
(see figure 16). If the blade guard is not parallel to the
table, the riving knife is not in the "up" position.
 Lock the guard in place by pushing the guard lever down.
NOTE: Blade alignment can be adjusted for different blade
widths. Refer to: To Check and Align the Riving Knife and
Saw Blade. Check the blade guard assembly for clearances
and free movement.
