"Wrong-way

is

-

when

(sawblade,

antikickback/spreader.

This

can

extremely

hazardous

because

violently

"Wrong-way

occurs

in

workpiece.

This

differs from

a "kickback"

which

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

spreader),

and!or

inadequate

set of teeth of sawblade.

-to act as a partial guard regarding accidental contact with the sawbtade at the outfeed side when ripping,

and leading edge when crosscutting.

a.]'he blade guard is positioned by loosening the guard clamp screw and rotating the guard so that the "nose" just clears the workpiece as shown.

b. The antikickback and spreader assembly must be

adjusted to accommodate the thickness of the board being ripped. A wing screw in the guard secures the assembly.
