Smart Guard System
The Smart Guard has been designed for modularity, enabling
the use of multiple combinations of the three main components –
Main barrier guards, Anti-kickback device, and riving knife.
Additionally, the riving knife can be quickly adjusted to three
positions (high, middle, and stored), depending on the
application requirement.
Component Parts (figure 32):
Riving Knife
The Riving Knife is the central element of the Smart Guard
blade guarding system, serving as the attachment point for
both the Main Barrier Guard and the Anti-Kickback Device. In
the event that the Main Barrier Guard and Anti-Kickback
Device are removed, the Riving Knife maintains its
functionality as material splitter, and is adjustable to three
positions. Because of this adjustability, the Riving Knife can
be appropriately positioned for all cutting applications.
❷
Main Barrier Guard
The main guard is comprised of a pair of plastic barriers
attached to the metal upper barrier guard. The side barriers
(one to the left and one to the right of the blade) operate
independently of one another, maintaining maximum blade
coverage during cutting operations. The main guard
incorporates a quick-connect attachment point and can be
attached or removed from the blade guarding system
independent of the Anti-Kickback Device and Riving Knife.
Note: To best secure the main guard for transport, adjust
the blade to its lowest position. This keeps the guard tight
to the table surface and prevents damage related to the
guard swinging during transport.
❸
Anti-Kickback Device
In the event of kickback, the Anti-Kickback Device, (also
known as dogs, or pawls) is intended to help prevent the
board from being thrown in the direction of the user. The
sharp teeth of the pawls are intended to "catch" the material
in the event of kickback.
