Re-installing Pawls

1.Loosen the knob on top of the spreader, then remove the blade guard.

2.Slide the pin in the pawl block into the second groove from the front of the spreader, as shown in Figure 10.

3.Press the button on the pawl block shown in Figure 9, then pivot the pawls down until they lock into place.

4.Re-install the blade guard onto the spreader and secure with the top knob.

When to Use the Blade Guard

The blade guard assembly MUST always be installed on the saw for all normal through cuts (those where the blade cuts all the way through the thickness of the workpiece).

When Not to Use the Blade Guard

The blade guard cannot be used for any non-through cuts (those in which the blade does not cut all the way through the thickness of the workpiece).

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!

IMPORTANT: Whenever the blade guard cannot be used, the riving knife must be installed.
