The anti-kickback pawls allow the workpiece to travel in
only one direction. If the workpiece moves backwards,
such as during a kickback, the pawls will dig into the
workpiece to slow or stop it.
To work properly, the pawls must return to their bottom-
most position after pivoting, as shown in Figure 47, and
they must not be engaged in the arresting hooks. If the
pawls fail to return to the bottom position, the pivot
spring may have been dislodged or broken and will need
to be fixed/replaced.

To disable the pawls, rotate the arresting hooks
downward, then place the pawls on each of the hooks, as
shown in Figure 48.
Use your best judgment before retracting the pawls,
as they are provided for your safety. Certain situations
could warrant retracting the pawls. For example, you
might retract the pawls if you are concerned about them
scratching a delicate workpiece, or if you believe that
they will obstruct a narrow workpiece and cause feeding
difficulty or loss of control.

To enable the pawls, lift up on each pawl and move

surface, as shown in Figure 47.

The blade guard assembly MUST always be installed on
the saw for all normal through cuts (those where the
blade cuts all the way through the thickness of the
workpiece).
N_\eEfkkfLj\k_\9cX[\>lXi[
The blade guard cannot be used on any non-through
cuts (those in which the blade does not cut all the way
through the thickness of the workpiece).
Sometimes the blade guard or its components can get in
the way when cutting very narrow workpieces or other
specialized cuts. Because the blade guard is provided to
decrease your risk of injury, it should not be used if it
gets in the way of making a safe cut. Use good judgment!
