WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY ALWAYS LOCK
THE SWITCH "OFF" WHEN SAW IS NOT IN USE.
REMOVE KEY AND KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE . . .
ALSO IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE (ALL
YOUR LIGHTS GO OUT) TURN SWITCH OFF, LOCK IT
AND REMOVE THE KEY THIS WILL PREVENT THE
SAW FROM STARTING UP AGAIN WHEN THE POWER
COMES BACK ON.
7. Accessory Shaft
Use only the following recommended accessories: Drill
chuck, Sanding drum, and Router adapter.
CAUTION: The sawblade, dado, or cutting tool must
be removed from the saw arbor before using the
accessory shaft, N EVER operate the saw with cutting
tools (including sanding accessories) installed on both
ends of the saw arbor.
8. Blade Guard 8= Antikickback/Spreader Assembly --
Positioning for Ripping.
WARNING: NEVER POSITION THE GUARD OR
ANTIKICKBACKiSPREADER ASSEMBLY WITH
THE SAW RUNNIN6. NEVER POSITION THE
ANTIKICKBACK/SPREADER ASSEMBLY BY
GRASPING THE PAWLS OR SPREADER; USE THE
TAB LOCATED ON THE ANTIKICKBACK BAR.
A The Blade Guard is positioned by loosening the guard
clamp screw and rotating the guard so that the
"nose" just clears the workpiece as shown.

This adjustment is necessary to:
1) Protect the operator from accidentally contacting
the sawblade from the "infeed'" direction.
2) Prevent the workpiece from being lifted from the
table by the sawblade thus minimizing lifting or
fluttering (particularly with thin and!or light
workpieces)
3) Minimize sawdust from being thrown toward the
operator.
4) Minimize the possibility of a thin pusher board
from riding up on top of the workpiece leading to
loss of control of the workpiece.
B. The antikickback and spreader assembly is used
during ripping operations and is adjustable to
accommodate the thickness of the board being
ripped.
The antikickback and spreader assembly is
positioned by loosening the wing screw and with the
tab provided, positioning the antikickback and
spreader assembly until the pawl assumes
approximately the position shown above. Tighten the
wing screw.

Make sure by trial -- without saw running -- before
starting the cut that the antikickback pawls will stop a
kickback once it has started. Insert workpiece
alongside spreader under outer set of pawls by
approaching pawls in the feed direction. Push
workpiece sharply in the direction of a kickback
(opposite to direction of feed). Readjust Pawls if they
do not stop the kickback motion by biting into the
workpiece.
These adjustments when properly made will:

Reduce possibility of kickback by preventing the kerr
from closing on the sawblade.
Prevent "wrong-way feed". "Wrong-way feed" is
feeding the workpiece - when the sawblade is in a rip
position - into the out feed side of the cutting tool
(sawblade. dado, molding head, etc.,), the side
containing the antikickback/spreader. This can be
extremely hazardous because the sawblade may grab
the workpiece and throw it violently toward the nose of
the guard (infeed side of the tool). See DANGER label on
the outfeed side of the guard just below the dust elbow.
"Wrong-way feed" differs from "kickback." A
"kickback" is generated by the sides (one or both) of the
teeth, because of binding between the fence (heel),
pinching of the sides of the sawblade (failure to use
spreader), a dull blade, and/or inadequate set of teeth of
sawblade.
Act as a partial guard regarding accidental contact with
the sawblade at the outfeed side when ripping, and the
leading edge when crosscutting."
