The Main Barrier Guard component can be quickly
attached and detached through the use of a quick
release lever. The guard is attached by seating the
crossbar into the top of the Riving Knife and engag-
ing the locking lever. Following this process in re-
verse, the guard can be easily removed for special
operations such as dados or rabbets.
The Anti-Kickback Device can be easily attached by
aligning the attachment pin with the hole in the rear
of the riving knife. It can be easily removed by de-
pressing the compression pads on either side of the
Anti-Kickback Device and lifting it away.
The Riving Knife can be easily adjusted to one of
three heights by removing the table insert, raising
the blade to its full height and releasing the riving
knife release lever at the base of the Riving Knife.
The Riving Knife should be locked in its highest po-
sition for use with the Main Barrier Guard and Anti-
Kickback Device. It can be adjusted to its middle
position for non-through cuts and for use as a mate-
rial splitter without the Main Barrier Guard and Anti-
Kickback Device.
In the event that the Riving Knife can not be used
for a specific cut, it can be adjusted to its lowest po-
sition, thus placing it 1” above the surface of the
table (while the blade is at its full height).

When not in use, the Main Barrier Guard and Anti-
Kickback Device can be stored under the right side
table extension.
Use of all the components of the
Smart Guard System, including
Main Barrier Guard, Anti-Kickback Device, and
Riving Knife is highly recommended to provide
protection against accidents and injury.
1. Slide the front of the Main Barrier Guard assembly
up and into the U-bracket at the front right side of
the saw (Fig. 33).
2. Pivot the rear of the guard down and onto the
mounting bracket.
3. Lock the Main Barrier Guard assembly into place
in the same manner as you would attach it to the
Riving Knife.
4. Locate the Anti-Kickback Device storage location
just above the Dust Chute on the back of the tool.
Attach the Anti-Kickback Device to the hanging
bracket in the same manner that it attaches to the
Riving Knife (Fig. 34).
