Anti-kickback fingers
Anti-kickback fingers are standard safety equipment on most new table saws. The anti-kickback fingers are incorporated into the blade guard and prevent the stock from being thrown at the operator by biting into it when kickback occurs. As long as the stock if fed through the blade in a normal fashion the anti-kickback fingers don't come into play. It is only when the stock binds and kickback occurs that they are important.
