tightening locking knob.
• Riving knife must be in line with blade. Make sure riving knife sits flat against
mounting bracket and lock plate.
RIVING KNIFE TO BLADE ADJUSTMENT
• Riving knife to blade clearance: the gap between the riving knife and the saw
blade should be an even distance across the entire radius.
• The riving knife should also be in line with the saw blade. If adjustment is
necessary:
1. Locate the riving knife bracket.
2. Loosen the two socket head cap screws 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 1/4 to 5/16" in distance.
3. Once the riving knife is aligned with the blade, tighten the socket head cap
screws.
