ASSEMBLY INSTALLING THE BLADE GUARD See Figures 14 - 15. WARNING: Always install the blade guard onto the riving knife in the "up" position to provide proper blade coverage. Installing the guarding components onto the riving knife in any other position will prevent them from working as designed, which could increase the risk of serious personal injury. BLADE GUARD WARNING: Replace the blade guard if the anti-kickback pawls are dull or damaged. Dull or damaged pawls may not stop a kickback increasing the risk of serious personal injury. Anti-kickback pawls are part of the blade guard for this saw. They should only be used for through cuts. When not needed, they may be positioned to be out of the way.  Unplug the saw.  Raise the saw blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel clockwise.  Place riving knife in "up" position.  Reinstall the throat plate. To install blade guard:  Lift the guard lever up to unlock.  With the front of the blade guard raised, lower the back of the guard into the riving knife in the position shown. Push the front of the guard down until it is parallel to the table (see figure 15). If the blade guard is not parallel to the table, the riving knife is not in the "up" position.  Lock the guard in place by pushing the guard lever down.  The blade guard side barriers may be lifted and folded back, then positioned out of the way without being removed for easier measurement. NOTE: Blade alignment can be adjusted for different blade widths. Refer to: To Check and Align the Riving Knife and Saw Blade. Check the blade guard assembly for clearances and free movement.
