Spreader
The spreader is a metal plate that prevents the
newly cut kerf of the workpiece from pinching the
backside of the blade and causing kickback.
The spreader also acts as a barrier behind the
blade to shield hands from being pulled into the
blade if a kickback occurs.
In order to work properly, the spreader
cannot be bent or misaligned with the blade.
If the spreader gets accidentally bent, take
the time to straighten it or just replace it.
Using a bent or misaligned spreader will
increase the risk of kickback! Refer to Page
69 to check or adjust alignment if necessary.
Installing Blade Guard & Spreader
3. Adjust flat head cap screws (see Figure 52)
to make sure table insert is flush with table
(use a straightedge as a guide).
Note: The blade guard, when properly
installed, should be set up similarly to
Figure
52. It should pivot freely up and down and
return to the table in the resting position. It
should also swing up high enough to accom-
modate the workpiece.
