ADJUSTMENT AND ALIGNMENT
To change the position of the riving knife, remove
the throat plate then raise the blade assembly to the
highest position by turning the height adjustment wheel
clockwise on the front of the saw.
To adjust the riving knife from one position to the other
(Through cut/Non-Through cut) raise the riving knife
lock lever to the up position to unlock the riving knife
(Fig. 37). Next, gently move the riving knife to the right
to disengage from the lock pins in the riving knife lock
assembly, then slide up and forward for Through cut
or down and back for Non-through cut until you feel
the lock pins engage the riving knife (Fig. 37). Riving

position that align with the table surface when in the
correct position. Push the riving knife lock lever down to
lock the riving knife in place as shown in Fig. 37a. Riving
knife assembly should appear as shown in Fig. 37b.
Once riving knife is properly adjusted, re-insert throat
plate (Fig. 15).
