SMART GUARD SYSTEM

The Bosch Smart Guard system is the primary
safety system of this table saw. The Smart Guard
system is supplemented by the Active Response
Technology™. The Active Response Technol-
ogy™ provides injury mitigation protection when
the table saw is connected to power and smart
guard system is not in use when making special
cuts. Any Smart Guard components that need
to be removed to complete a cut should be im-
mediately reinstalled when finished. Always re-
member that the best accident prevention is the
operator's use of common sense and alertness at
all times when using the table saw.
The Bosch Smart Guard System has been de-
signed for modularity, enabling the use of mul-
tiple combinations of the three main components
– Main barrier guards, Anti-Kickback Pawls, and
riving knife. Additionally, the riving knife can be
quickly adjusted to three positions (high, middle,
and stored), depending on the application re-
quirement.

Riving Knife

The Riving Knife is the central element of the
Bosch Smart Guard blade guarding system,
serving as the attachment point for both the Main
Barrier Guard and the Anti-Kickback Pawls. In the
event that the Main Barrier Guard and Anti-Kick-
back Pawls are removed, the Riving Knife main-
tains its functionality as material splitter, and is
adjustable to three positions. Because of this ad-
justability, the Riving Knife can be appropriately
positioned for all cutting applications.

Main barrier guard
The main guard is comprised of a pair of plas-
tic 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 cov-
erage 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-Kick-
back Pawls and Riving Knife.
Note: To best secure the main guard for trans-
port, 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.

Anti-Kickback Pawls

In the event of kickback, the Anti-Kickback Pawls,
(also known as dogs, or pawls) are 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.
ATTACHMENT/REMOVAL
(see pages 15 and 16 for detailed instructions)
The three primary components of the Smart
Guard blade guarding system are designed for
rapid attachment, adjustment, and/or removal
without the need for additional tools.
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 and engaging the locking lever. Following
this process in reverse, the guard can be easily
removed for special operations such as dados or
rabbets.
The Anti-Kickback Pawls can be easily attached
by aligning the attachment pin with the hole in the
rear of the riving knife. It can be easily removed
by depressing the compression pads on either
