TO CHANGE RIVING KNIFE POSITIONS
See Figure 36.
This saw is shipped with a riving knife that should be placed
in the "down" position for non-through cutting and must be
placed in the "up" position for all other cutting operations.
CAUTION:
Use caution when reaching inside the throat in
the saw table. Blade contact, even when the
blade is still, may result in injury to hands or arms.
 Unplug the saw.
To place in the "up" position for all through cutting:
 Remove the throat plate.
 Raise the blade by unlocking the height adjusting
handwheel and turning it clockwise.
 Unlock the release lever by pulling it up.
 Grasp the riving knife and pull it towards the right side of
the saw to release the riving knife from the spring-loaded
riving clamp.
 Pull the riving knife up until the internal pins are engaged
and the riving knife is above the saw blade.
 Lock the release lever by pushing the lever down.
WARNING:
Make sure the release lever is fully seated. If the
release lever is difficult to lock, thoroughly clean
lever components using compressed air or a
clean soft cloth. Failure to completely lock the
release lever can allow the riving knife to change
position during saw use, which could result in
serious personaly injury.
 Reinstall the throat plate.
