Installing Guard / Setting
Spreader
The blade guard and the spreader are very
important safety features of your saw. The
guard covers a large part of the blade and
reduces the risk of amputation. The spreader
rides in the kerf of the cut wood during rip-
ping, and helps keep the two sides from
pinching the blade and causing a kickback.
WARNING" Fingers, hand or arm
can be cutoff from blade contact if the
blade guard is not used properly. Always
put the proper blade guard on your saw
and adjust it correctly.
