TILTING THE BLADE
Tilt the blade to the left using the right handwheel (CC)
Fig. 23.
The blade tilting mechanism allows the blade to be tilted
up to 45 ° to the left.
To tilt the saw blade, loosen the lock knob (DD) Fig. 23
counterclockwise and turn handwheel (CC). A pointer (EE)
Fig. 24 indicates the angle of tilt on the scale, marked in
1/2-degree increments.
To lock the saw blade at your desired angle, tighten the
lock knob (DD).
THROAT PLATE ADJUSTMENT
The throat plate (FF) Fig. 25 needs to be level to the saw
table. If the throat plate is not level with the saw table,
adjust the plate using four set screws (GG). Lower or
raise set screws as needed to align throat plate level to
the saw table.
RIVING KNIFE OPERATION AND
ADJUSTMENT
POSITIONING THE RIVING KNIFE
The riving knife (J) Fig. 26 is a flat plate that fits into the
cut made by the saw blade and effectively fights kickback
by lessening the tendency of the blade to bind in the cut.
(NOTE: Safety devices removed for clarity in Fig. 26.
Be sure to always use safety devices when possible.)
The riving knife (J) Fig. 27 and Fig. 28 can be used in
through cuts (where the workpiece is completely cut
in two) and non-through cuts. The riving knife can be
moved to the high position (Fig. 27) for through cuts and
to the low position (Fig. 28) for non-through cuts.
NOTE: When adjusting the riving knife up or down, be
sure to pull in a radial motion, as shown in Fig. 28A.
