ADJUSTING BLADE GUARD AND
ANTI-KICKBACK ROD
On all ripping and plowing operations, the infeed side of
the blade guard is lowered so that it just clears the
material. This will prevent the material from being lifted
off the table. Also, lower the kickback rod (A) Fig. 57, so
that the kickback fingers (B) are below surface of
material. Rod (A) can be raised or lowered by loosening
wing nut (C), moving the kickback rod to the desired
position and tightening wing nut (C). The kickback
fingers (B) will then come into contact with the material,
preventing “kickback.” The splitter (D) Fig. 57, should be
in line with the saw blade. If an adjustment is necessary,
make sure to DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE. Rod (A) can be adjusted sideways by
tightening or loosening two screws (E) Fig. 57.

ADJUSTING TRACK ARM STOP
When making cuts with the track arm in the straight cut-
off position and the motor tilted for a 45° bevel cut, it is
necessary to rotate stop (A) Fig. 58, to the downward
position as shown in Fig. 59. This will prevent the saw
blade from coming into contact with the column.
