pletely to access the riving knife.

highest position. Riving knife has three holes for three posi-
tions. The highest position is for all thru cuts. The middle
position is for rabbets and other non-thru cuts, (with guard
and pawls removed). The lowest position is for dado cuts.

secure in position by tightening locking knob.
• Riving knife must be in line with blade. Make sure riving
knife sits flat against mounting bracket and lock plate.
RIVING KNIFE TO BLADE ADJUSTMENT
• Riving knife to blade clearance: the gap between the riving
knife and the saw blade should be an even distance
across the entire radius.
• The riving knife should also be in line with the saw blade. If
adjustment is necessary:
1. Locate the riving knife bracket.
2. Loosen the two socket head cap screws slightly enough
to move the bracket bringing the riving knife in line with
the saw blade making sure the gap between the blade
and knife is even and from
1 ⁄
4
to 5 ⁄
16
″ in distance.
3. Once the riving knife is aligned with the blade, tighten
the socket head cap screws.
