If the pawls fail to return to the bottom position, the pivot spring may have been dislodged or bro- ken and will need to be fixed/replaced.

The anti-kickback pawls and arresting hooks are constructed to comply with the UL Standard for Safety for Stationary and Fixed Electric Tools, UL 987 (Seventh Edition).

Disabling Pawls

To disable the pawls, rotate the arresting hooks downward, then place the pawls on each of the hooks, as shown in Figure 52.

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.

Pawl

Figure 52. Pawl disabled.

We do not recommend disabling the pawls during normal operations unless absolutely necessary. In most situations, disabling the pawls will increase your risk of serious per- sonal injury in the event of a kickback.

Enabling Pawls

To enable the pawls, lift up on each pawl and move them outward and down until they both touch the table surface, as shown in Figure 51 on Page 37.

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 on 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.
