Anti-Kickback Pawls | Woodstock W1761, W1762 instruction

Model W1761/W1762 (M-1/10, S7/10+)

—If the spreader/riving knife is not inside the align- ment zone and not parallel with the blade, then it needs to be adjusted (refer to Page 8).

—If the spreader/riving knife is not parallel with the blade, it may be bent. Proceed to "Checking Alignment" on Page 8 to determine if the spread- er/riving knife is bent.

Anti-Kickback Pawls

Anti-kickback pawls allow the workpiece to travel in only one direction. If the workpiece moves backwards, such as from kickback, the pawls will dig into the workpiece to slow or stop it.

To work properly, the pawls must return to their bottom- most position after pivoting, as shown in Figure 8.

Note: The right pawl is designed to tilt slightly away from the blade guard assembly to prevent the pawl from catching in the table insert.

If the pawls fail to return to the bottom position or parts are binding, the pivot spring may have been dislodged or broken and will need to be fixed/replaced.

Removing Pawls

You might remove the pawls if you are concerned about them scratching a delicate workpiece, or if you believe that they will obstruct a narrow workpiece and cause feeding difficulty or loss of control. Use your best judgment before removing the pawls, as they are provided for your safety.

To remove the pawls, do these steps:

1.Loosen the knob on top of the spreader several turns, then remove the blade guard assembly.

2.Press the button (Figure 9) on the block that holds the pawls, then remove the pawls from the spreader.

3.Re-install the blade guard onto the spreader, making sure the front and back pins on the blade guard slide all the way into the spreader slots, then tighten the top knob to secure the guard.

We do not recommend removing the pawls during normal operations unless absolutely necessary. In most situa- tions, removing the pawls will increase your risk of serious personal injury in the event of kickback.
