RIVING KNIFE ADJUSTMENT
The riving knife helps prevent kickback by keeping the two sides of your cut from closing on the blade. Before
operation, make sure the riving knife is properly aligned with the blade. This requires checking the distance be-
tween the blade and the riving knife, making sure it is no greater that 1/8 of an inch.
1. Engage the plunge release and lower the blade down until the riving knife lock can be seen through the riving
knife adjustment access point in the side of the saw.
2. Using a hex wrench (5mm), loosen the bolt through the riving knife adjustment access point.
3. Manually position the riving knife approximately 1/8 of an inch away from the teeth of the saw blade, checking
to make sure that the tip of the riving knife is slightly above (1/8 of an inch) the lowest point of the blade.
4. Tighten the riving knife locking bolt. Once the bolt is tight, make sure that the knife itself is straight and prop-
erly aligned with the blade. Check this with a straight edge or a T-square, pressing it against the side of the riving
knife and the blade to see if it lies flush against both objects.
WARNING: Never use a warped blade or riving knife. If the riving knife seems bent or misaligned, do
not operate the track saw.
USING THE TRACK STABILIZER
The stabilizer is an added measure to prevent the track saw from separating from the track during operation.
Loosen the thumb screw on the stabilizer and set the track saw onto the track. Once the saw is sitting properly on
the track, adjust the stabilizer around the outside lip of the track (opposite of the blade). Tighten the stabilizer to
prevent the track from tipping during operation.
ADJUSTING THE STOP
The package includes a track stop to prevent your saw from going past the intended end point. Position the stop
on the outer rail on the opposite side of the saw’s blade for a stable stopping point during cuts. This is particularly
useful during internal plunge cuts.
