ADJUSTING BLADE GUARD AND ANTI-KICKBACK ROD
On all ripping and plowing operations, the back part of the blade guard is lowered so that it just clears the material. This will prevent the material from being lifted off the table. Also, lower the kickback rod (A) Fig. 57, so that the kickback fingers (B) are below surface of material. Rod (A) can be raised or lowered by loosening wingnut (C), moving the kickback rod to the desired position and tightening wingnut (C). The kickback fingers
(B)will then come into contact with the material, preventing “kickback.” The splitter (D) Fig. 57, should be in line with the saw blade. If an adjustment is necessary, DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. Rod (A) can be adjusted sideways by tightening or loosening two screws (E) Fig. 57.
ADJUSTING
TRACK ARM STOP
When making cuts with the track arm in the straight cut- off position and the motor tilted for a 45 degree bevel cut, it is necessary to rotate stop (A) Fig. 58, to the downward position as shown in Fig. 59. This will prevent the saw blade from coming into contact with the column.
