b) Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction
manual.
Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can
make the riving knife ineffective in preventing
kickback.
c) Always use the riving knife except when plunge
cutting.
Riving knife must be replaced after plunge cutting.
Riving knife causes interference during plunge cutting
and can create kickback.
d) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in
the workpiece.
The riving knife is ineffective in preventing kickback
during short cuts.
e) Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent.
Even a light interference can slow the closing rate of
a guard.

becomes ineffective, replace the carbon brushes
with new ones.
