Riving Knife Adjustment
Lateral alignment
The saw blade and riving knife must be in line as
close as possible with each other (lateral
alignment) for the prevention of kickback. Upon
initial blade guard and riving knife installation no
further adjustment should be necessary. Alignment
should be checked and adjusted, if required, after
each blade change.
Check the alignment as follows:
1. Remove the blade guard and pawl (C, E,
Fig. 7).
2. Place a straightedge (A, Fig. 13) on the table
so it rests against the blade (B, Fig 13) and
riving knife (C, Fig. 13). Rotate the blade so the
top of the blade tooth touches the straightedge.
The saw blade and riving knife must be in line.
If adjustment is required:
3. Remove the table insert.
4. Loosen the lock handle (A, Fig. 14) and
remove the riving knife, making a note as to
which direction the riving knife needs to be
moved to align it with the saw blade.
5. Using a 3mm hex wrench, make adjustments
to any of the four set screws (D, Fig. 15)
accessible through openings located in the
corners of the floating clamp block (E, Fig. 15).
6. If necessary, repeat the above procedure.
