immediately behind the guard assembly. Check that the attachment pin is securely connected into locking hole. Carefully raise and lower the pawls 10 – when letting go, the spring-loaded pawls must come down and contact the table in- sert (Fig. 9).

Hint: Position the Anti-Kickback Device behind the flat recessed area and slide it towards the front until it drops into the recessed area – then release the com- pression pins.

Note: The two attachments are independant of each other, so the Anti-Kickback Device can be attached before the Guard Assembly.
