ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Replace dull or damaged anti-kickback pawls.
Dull or damaged pawls may not stop a kickback
increasing the risk of serious personal injury.
NOTE: Anti-kickback pawls should only be installed for
through cuts.
 Unplug the saw.
 Raise the saw blade.
 Place riving knife in "up" position.
 Reinstall the throat plate.
To install anti-kickback pawls:
 Press and hold the button on the right side of the anti-
kickback pawls.
 Align the slot in the pawls over rear notch in the riving knife.
 Push the pawl handle down snapping it into place and
release the button.
NOTE: Pull on the handle to make sure pawls are securely
locked.
To install blade guard:
 Lift the guard lever up to unlock.
 With the front of the blade guard raised and the guard
lever unlocked, lower the back of the guard into the middle
slot of the riving knife. Push the front of the guard down
until it is parallel to the table (see figure 21). If the blade
guard is not parallel to the table, the riving knife is not in
the "up" position.
 Lock the guard in place by pushing the guard lever down.
NOTE: Blade alignment can be adjusted for different blade
widths. Refer to: To Check and Align the Riving Knife and
Saw Blade. Check the blade guard assembly for clearances
and free movement.
TO CHECK AND ALIGN THE RIVING KNIFE AND
SAW BLADE
See Figure 22.
To check alignment of the riving knife:
 Unplug the saw.
 Raise the saw blade by turning the height adjusting knob
clockwise.
 Remove the anti-kickback pawls and blade guard
assembly. Place a framing square or straight edge against
both the saw blade and the riving knife.
NOTE: Place framing square between carbide teeth and
measure from blade. This step will insure framing square
is square against blade from the front to back of blade.
 The saw blade and riving knife are aligned when the
framing square contacts both the blade and riving knife
evenly with no gaps.
To adjust (horizontally and vertically):
 Remove the anti-kickback pawls and blade guard
assembly.
 From the back of the saw, loosen the adjustment screws
holding the mounting bracket.
