The Riving Knife: This acts like splitter but is mounted on the same assembly as the blade armature. So it rides up and down with the blade as you adjust blade height and also pivots with the blade for bevel cuts. It's designed to keep the kerf open and prevents wood getting caught on the back of the blade. Such perceive is the cause of perilous kickbacks.
The Smartguard System: thoroughly tool free, it only takes an instant to install or remove.The smartguard clips securely to the riving knife, so like the riving knife it automatically adjusts to the height and angle of the blade.The main body of the smartguard is a metal town section shaped like a tuning fork which sits above the blade. This construct prevents perceive with the blade yet allows full view of the blade as it cuts and enters the kerf. Attached to the left and right side of the chassis are the blade guards. The guards move independently to give best protection than other designs. They also flip up out of the way if you need passage to the stationary blade.
Anti-Kickback Pawls: Like the smartguard assembly the anti-kickback pawls clip to the riving knife, but at the back end. The pawls give you an extra level of security, preventing material being thrown back at the saw user at speed. Like all the modular elements of the protection equipment they can be removed very quickly if needed.
