To work properly, the pawls must return to their bottom- most position after pivoting, as shown in Figure 47, and they must not be engaged in the arresting hooks. If the pawls fail to return to the bottom position, the pivot spring may have been dislodged or broken and will need to be fixed/replaced.

To disable the pawls, rotate the arresting hooks downward, then place the pawls on each of the hooks, as shown in Figure 48.
Use your best judgment before retracting the pawls, as they are provided for your safety. Certain situations could warrant retracting the pawls. For example, you might retract the pawls if you are concerned about them scratching a delicate workpiece, or if you believe that they will obstruct a narrow workpiece and cause feeding difficulty or loss of control.

Sometimes the blade guard or its components can get in the way when cutting very narrow workpieces or other specialized cuts. Because the blade guard is provided to decrease your risk of injury, it should not be used if it gets in the way of making a safe cut. Use good judgment!
