Barrier Guard Assembly
(Fig. 59)
The Barrier Guard Assembly 25 is comprised of
a pair of plastic barriers attached to the plastic
upper barrier guard. The side barriers (one to
the left of the Blade 32 and one to the right) op-
erate independently of one another, maintaining
maximum Blade coverage during cutting opera-
tions. The Barrier Guard Assembly 25 incorpo-
rates a quick-connect attachment point and can
be attached or removed from the Smart Guard
System 11 independent of the the Anti-Kickback
Device 26 and Riving Knife 24.
The Barrier Guard Assembly 25 can be quickly
attached and detached through the use of the
quick release Barrier Guard Assembly Release
Lever 36. The guard is attached by seating the
crossbar into the top of the Riving Knife (Split-
ter) 24 and engaging the Release Lever 36. Fol-
lowing this process in reverse, the Barrier Guard
Assembly 25 can be easily removed for special
operations such as dados or rabbets.
NOTE: To best secure the Barrier Guard Assem-
bly 25 for relocation, adjust the Blade 32 to its
lowest position. This keeps the Guard 25 tight
to the Table 13 surface and prevents damage
related to the Guard 25 swinging during reloca-
tion. If transporting over a longer distance on/
off the job, place the Guard 25 in its below-table
storage position. (See "Barrier Guard Assembly
Storage" on page 27).
Anti-Kickback Device
(Fig. 59)
In the event of kickback, the Anti-Kickback De-
vice 26 is intended to help prevent the work-
piece from being thrown in the direction of the
user. The sharp teeth of the Anti-Kickback De-
vice Pawls 50 are intended to "catch" the mate-
rial in the event of kickback.
The Anti-Kickback Device 26 can be easily at-
tached by aligning the attachment pin with the
hole in the rear of the Riving Knife (Splitter) 24.
It can be easily removed by depressing the Com-
pression Pin 49 on the side of the Anti-Kickback
Device 26 and lifting it away.

Basic Table Saw Operations

Making Work Helpers
Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all
of the information in "Basic Table Saw Opera-
tions."
Notice that in order to make some of the cuts, it
is necessary to use certain devices, "Work Help-
ers", like the Push Stick 93, the Push Block 94
and the Auxiliary Fence 95, which you can make
yourself.
After you have made a few practice cuts, but
before starting any projects, make these work
helpers. Make the "push stick" first.
Making the Push Stick and Push Block
(Fig. 61, Fig. 62)
Make the Push Stick 93 using a 1" x 2" (19 mm x
38 mm) piece as shown in Fig. 61. For proper
use of a Push Stick 93, see "Using the Push
Stick" on page 47.
Make the Push Block 94 using pieces of 3/8"
(8.7 mm) plywood A and 3/4" (19 mm) hard-
wood B. The Push Block 94 is only to be used in
combination with the auxiliary fence. For proper
use of Push Block 94, see "Using the Push Block
with the Auxiliary Fence" on page 48.
The small piece of wood, 3/8" x 3/8" x 2-1/2"
(9.5 x 9.5 x 63.5mm), should be GLUED to the
plywood... DO NOT USE NAILS. This is to pre-
vent dulling the Blade 32 in the event you mis-
takenly cut into the Push Block 94.
Position the handle in the center of the plywood
and fasten them together with glue and wood-
screws.
Use the Push Stick 8 whenever the Rip Fence 9
is 2" (50 mm) or more from the Blade 32. Use a
Push Block 94 when the operation is too narrow
to allow the use of the Push Stick 8. For proper
use, see "Using the Push Stick, Push Block, and
Auxiliary Fence" on page 47.
Push Stick 8 or Push Block 94 should be used
only between the Rip Fence 9 and the Blade 32.
When using the Push Stick 8 or a Push Block 94,
the trailing end of the board must be square.
The Push Stick 8 or a Push Block 94 against an
uneven end could slip off or push the work away
from the Rip Fence 9.
