10. Lower the front of the guard as-
sembly 4 until the metal “fork” is
parallel with the table (Fig. 13).
11. Press down on the guard re-
lease lever 5 until you feel and
hear it snap into the locking po-
sition. Check that the guard as-
sembly is properly and securely
connected (Fig. 13).
ATTACHING THE
ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS
12. Attach the Anti-Kickback Pawls
7 into the flat recessed area 8 of
the riving knife 2 (Fig. 14).
13. Squeeze the compression pads
9 while nesting the device into
the flat area (Fig. 14).
14. Release the compression pads
such that the Anti-Kickback
Pawls lock onto the riving knife
immediately behind the guard
assembly. Check that the attach-
ment pin is securely connected
into locking hole. Carefully raise
and lower the pawls 10 – when
letting go, the spring-loaded
pawls must come down and
contact the table insert (Fig. 14).
Hint: Position the Anti-Kickback
Pawls behind the flat recessed
area and slide it towards the front
until it drops into the recessed
area – then release the compres-
sion pins.
Note: The two attachments are
independent of each other, so the
Anti-Kickback Pawls can be at-
tached before the Guard Assem-
bly.
