1. Locate the riving knife bracket (Key No. 21).
2. Loosen the two socket head cap screws (Key No. 13)
slightly enough to move the bracket, bringing the riving
knife in line with the saw blade. Make sure the gap
between the blade and knife is even and from 1/4to 5/16"
in distance.
3. Once the riving knife is aligned with the blade, tighten
the socket head cap screws.
