Anti-Kickback Fingers

The Model G6333/G0634 provides an anti-kick-
back system as a safety feature. The anti-kick-
back fingers hang from a rod suspended across
the cutterhead casting. The anti-kickback fingers
should be inspected regularly.

Check the fingers (

Figure 79) to ensure that they

swing freely and easily.

If the fingers do not swing

freely and easily, clean them with a wood resin
solvent.

Proper operation of the anti-kickback fin-

gers is essential for the safe operation of

this machine. Failure to ensure that they

are working properly could result in serious

operator injury.

Do not apply oil or other lubricants to the anti-
kickback fingers. Oil or grease will attract dust,
restricting the free movement of the fingers.
