Blade Bevel Control - skilsaw SPT99T Consignes D'utilisation/De Sécurité

The Riving Knife (splitter) can be easily adjusted
to one of three heights by removing the table in-
sert, raising the blade to its full height and releas-
ing the riving knife release lever at the base of
the Riving Knife . The Riving Knife should be
locked in its through cut (highest) position for use
with the Main Barrier Guard and Anti-Kickback
Device . It can be adjusted to its non-through cut
(middle) position for use as a material splitter
without the Main Barrier Guard and Anti-Kick-
back Device . In the event that the Riving Knife
cannot be used for a specific cut or for use with
a dado blade, it can be adjusted to its dado (low-
est) position .
Main Barrier Guard
The main guard is comprised of a pair of plastic
barriers attached to the 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 cut-
ting operations . The main guard incorporates a
quick-connect attachment point and can be at-
tached or removed from the blade guarding sys-
tem independent of the Anti-Kickback Pawls and
Riving Knife / Splitter.
The Main Barrier Guard component can be
quickly attached and detached through the use of

a quick release lever . The guard is attached by
seating the crossbar into the top of the Riving
Knife / Splitter and engaging the locking lever. Fol-
lowing this process in reverse, the guard can be
easily removed for special operations, such as
dados or rabbets .
NOTE: To best secure the main guard for reloca-
tion, adjust the blade to its lowest position . This
keeps the guard tight to the table surface and pre-
vents damage related to the guard swinging
during relocation . If transporting over a longer dis-
tance on/off the job, place guard in its below table
storage position (See Fig . 16) .
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 direc-
tion of the user . The sharp teeth of the pawls are
intended to "catch" the material in the event of
kickback .
The Anti-Kickback Device can be easily attached
by aligning the attachment pin with the hole in the
rear of the Riving Knife / Splitter. It can be easily
re-moved by depressing the compression pads
on both sides of the Anti-Kickback Device and
lifting it away .
