Adjusting

Your Saw

Remove the blade and set it aside for a moment. Tighten the horizontal positioning bolts. Remove the spreader

and install the riving knife.

Next, loosen the vertical positioning bolts using the included 5 mm hex L-wrench. Loosen the bolts just enough

to allow the clamp to slide up and down on the clamp mounting bracket. Reinstall the blade.

Making Adjustments to Your Saw

WARNING! Make sure there is at least 3 mm spacing between the riving knife

and blade at all points. Contact between the blade and either the riving knife

or spreader during operation will cause the brake system to be activated.

The top of the riving knife should be approximately 1 mm below the top of the blade (see Fig. 73). This allows

the riving knife to be used on rabbet cuts and other non-through cuts. In addition, the arc on the front of the

riving knife should be concentric with the blade.

Rest a level on the top of the blade and measure the

distance from the bottom of the level to the top of

the riving knife. If necessary, adjust the position of

the clamp up or down to set the height of the riving

knife, and rotate the clamp forward or backward

until the arc on the riving knife is concentric with the

blade. Once the vertical alignment of the riving knife

is correct, tighten the vertical positioning bolts.

In some cases, adjusting the vertical alignment may

cause the spacing between the riving knife and the

edge of the blade to be incorrect. If this happens,

remove the riving knife and the blade. Install the

spreader and loosen the horizontal positioning

bolts. Now reinstall the blade.

Using the straight edge, reposition the spreader so

that it is parallel and flush with the side of the blade,

and so that the spacing between the edge of the

blade and the arc of the spreader is approximately

5-7 mm. Remove the blade and tighten the horizontal

positioning bolts.

Make sure all the positioning bolts are tight. Once the clamp has been properly positioned, further adjustment

should not be necessary. Both the spreader and riving knife should be aligned when installed in the clamp.
