Anti-Kickback Fingers

The Model W1754 provides an anti-kickback system as a safety feature. The anti-kickback fingers hang from a rod suspended across the cutter headstock. The anti-kickback fingers should be inspected regularly.

Check the fingers (Figure 37) to ensure that they swing freely and easily. If the fingers do not swing freely and easily, clean them with a wood resin solvent.

Proper operation of the anti-kickback fingers is essen- tial for the safe operation of this machine. Failure to ensure that they are working properly could result in serious operator injury.

Do not apply oil or other lubricants to the anti-kickback fingers. Oil or grease will attract dust, restricting the free movement of the fingers.
