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. 29). 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
