MOUNTING AND ADJUST THE RIVING KNIFE
The supplied riving knife must always be used.
The riving knife has to be adjusted in such a way that over its
entire length the gap between saw blade and riving knife does
not exceed min.3 mm and max.8 mm (Fig 12).
Fig. 12
TO ADJUST THE RIVING KNIFE:
1. Disconnect the saw from the power source.
2. Move the blade tilt to 0º (blade 90º to table)
and raise the main blade all the way up.
3. Check both sides of the blade with a straight edge
touching the teeth as shown in Figure 15:
---If the straightedge touches the riving knife
evenly on both sides, go to step 4.
---if the straightedge only touches the riving
knife on one side, go to step 5.

it against the riving knife as shown in Figure 16:

the riving knife is correctly adjusted.
--- If there is a gap between the square and
the riving knife, go to Step 6.
5. Loosen the riving knife center bolt and remove
the riving knife.
6. Use the set screws shown in Figure 17 to adjust

position.
