To adjust the riving knife position, there are two methods:
FRONT-RELEASE (PRIMARY METHOD)
1. Pull front riving knife release handle (II) Fig. 29 in front
of the saw under the table, just above the gauge.
2. While holding handle, pull riving knife up until detent
(JJ) Fig. 30 engages for the through-cutting position.
3. While holding handle, push riving knife down until
detent (KK) Fig. 30 engages for the non-through-
cutting position.
4. Release handle and pull on riving knife to make sure it
is in the locked position.
5. Replace throat plate.
RIVING KNIFE RELEASE LEVER
(ALTERNATIVE METHOD)
1. Remove throat plate (FF) Fig. 25.
2. Push riving knife release lever (MM) Fig. 31 away from
the blade and pull riving knife up to lower detent (JJ)
Fig. 30 for the through-cutting position.
3. Push riving knife release lever away from the blade
and push riving knife down to upper detent (KK)
Fig. 30 for the non-through-cutting position.
4. Release lever and pull on riving knife to make sure it is
in the locked position.
5. Replace throat plate.
Before connecting the table saw to the
power source or operating the saw, always inspect
the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper
alignment and clearance with saw blade. Check
alignment after each change of bevel angle.
NOTE: DO NOT operate saw if riving knife is not locked
in the through-cutting or non through-cutting position.
Fig. 31A shows the riving knife clamp locked down
properly. Fig. 31B shows the clamp unlocked
When properly aligned, the riving knife will be in line with
the blade at both table top level, and at the top of the
blade.
Using a straight edge (NN), ensure that the blade (OO)
is aligned with the riving knife (J) as shown in Fig. 32.
(BE SURE THE STRAIGHT EDGE GOES BETWEEN THE
TEETH AND RESTS ON THE BLADE BODY AND THE
RIVING KNIFE FOR PROPER ALIGNMENT.)
If the riving knife and blade are out of line, see section,
Aligning Riving Knife to Blade.
