If the pawls fail to return to the resting position, the
pivot area may need to be cleaned or the spring
may have been dislodged or broken and will need
to be fixed/replaced.
Anti-Kickback Pawls
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
resting position after pivoting, shown in
Figure 33.

Removing Pawls
You might remove 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. Use your best judgment before removing
the pawls, as they are provided for your safety.
Figure 34. Location of blade guard knob.
To remove pawls:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen blade guard knob (see Figure 34),
slide upper blade guard assembly toward
front of saw, and remove it from spreader.
We do not recommend removing pawls
for normal operations unless absolutely
necessary. In most situations, disabling
pawls will increase your risk of serious
personal injury in event of a kickback.
The pawls are sharp and can lacerate fingers
or hands. Use caution, and wear leather
gloves when handling the pawls to reduce
risk of injury.
