The arm will stop at the 0º and 45º positions right and left. To move the arm past these points the track arm index knob (B) must be pulled out. (Fig. 2)

B – TRACK ARM INDEX KNOB. Locates 0º and 45º po- sition, right and left, of the track arm. (Fig. 2)

D – YOKE CLAMP HANDLE. The yoke clamp handle must be loose when rotating the yoke to the rip or cross- cut position. (Fig. 3)

E – ANTI-KICKBACK DEVICE. When ripping, the yoke is positioned and clamped so that the blade is parallel to the fence. The rear of the blade guard is lowered until it almost touches the workpiece. The anti-kickback rod is then lowered so that the fingers catch and hold the workpiece. Never rip from the anti-kickback end of the blade guard. (Fig. 3)
