NOTE: The blade guard and splitter must always be correctly aligned so
that the cut work piece will pass on either side of the splitter without
binding or twisting to the side.
Improper alignment of the splitter can cause “kickback” and serious injury.

Adjusting riving knife
There must be a clearance of about 5
– 6 mm between the riving knife and the blade teeth
when pushing riving knife toward the blade fully. Adjust the riving knife accordingly by first
loosening clamping nut by hand counterclockwise and then loosening hex bolt
counterclockwise with the hex socket wrench, and measuring the distance. After adjustment,
securely tighten the hex bolt and then the clamping nut clockwise. Always check to see that
the riving knife is secured and that the top blade guard works smoothly before cutting.
The riving knife has been installed before shipment from the factory so that the blade and
riving knife are in a straight line after your simple set-up. Refer to the section titled
“Repositioning riving knife” for the set-up.
CAUTION:
If the blade and riving knife are not aligned properly, a dangerous pinching condition may
result during operation. Make sure the riving knife is positioned between both outer ends
of the blade teeth when viewing from the top. You could suffer serious personal injury
while using the tool without a properly aligned riving knife. If they are not aligned for any
reasons, always have an authorized service center repair it.
When adjusting the riving knife clearance from the blade teeth, always loosen the hex bolt
only after loosening the clamping nut.
