Attachment/Removal

(see page 40 for detailed instructions)

The three primary components of the Smart Guard blade guarding system are designed for rapid attachment, adjustment, and/or removal without the need for additional tools.

The Main Barrier Guard component can be quickly attached and detached through the use of a quick release lever. The guard is attached by seating the crossbar into the top of the Riving Knife and engaging the locking lever. Following this process in reverse, the guard can be easily removed for special operations such as dados or rabbets.

The Anti-Kickback Device can be easily attached by aligning the attachment pin with the hole in the rear of the riving knife. It can be easily removed by depressing the compression pads on either side of the Anti-Kickback Device and lifting it away.

The Riving Knife can be easily adjusted to one of three heights by removing the table insert, raising the blade to its full height and releasing the riving knife release lever at the base of the Riving Knife. The Riving Knife should be locked in its highest position for use with the Main Barrier Guard and Anti-Kickback Device. It can be adjusted to its middle position for non-through cuts and for use as a material splitter without the Main Barrier Guard and Anti-Kickback Device.

In the event that the Riving Knife can not be used for a specific cut, it can be adjusted to its lowest position, thus placing it 1” above the surface of the table (while the blade is at its full height).

System Storage

When not in use, the Main Barrier Guard and Anti-Kickback Device can be stored under the left side of the table.

Use of all the components of the Smart Guard ! WARNING System, including Main Barrier Guard, Anti-

Kickback Device, and Riving Knife is highly recommended to provide protection against accidents and injury.

1. Turn the Main Barrier Guard assembly 1 upside down and slide it into the U-bracket 2 at the rear left side of the saw (Fig. 33).

2. Pivot the rear of the guard up and into the front mounting bracket 3.

3. Lock the Main Barrier Guard assembly into place in the same manner as you would attach it to the Riving Knife (Fig. 33).

4. Slide the pawls of the Anti-Kickback Device 4 into the two slots and attach to bracket in the same manner that it attaches to the Riving Knife.
