TAKING SLACK OUT OF RIVING KNIFE
RELEASE CABLE
Over time, the riving knife release cable may develop slack
and may not fully open the riving knife release clamp. To
remove the slack out of the riving knife release cable:
1. Using a 7/16" open end wrench, move nut (B1)
Fig. 51 (located underneath the fence in front of saw)
away from saw cabinet.
2. Using a 7/16" wrench, tighten nut (D1) against the
bracket (C1) and nut (B1).
To avoid the risk of injury, do not
overtighten the cable. If the cable is too tight, the
riving knife will be loose and will not function properly.
After adjustments always check that the riving knife
is securely clamped in the desired position by firmly
pulling up on the knife.
ALIGNING THE RIP FENCE AND TABLE BOARD
See your fence instruction manual for instructions on
adjusting the rip fence parallel to the miter gauge slot, as
well as instructions for making sure the table board is flat
to the extension wings and flat across the whole width of
saw, wings and table board.
CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
Use only 10" (254 mm) diameter blades
with 5/8" (16 mm) arbor holes, rated at 4,300 rpm or
higher.
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect it from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or when
making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
1. Remove the throat plate (FF) Fig. 52, and raise the
saw blade to its maximum height.
2. Remove old blade, if needed, by holding red arbor
lock button (E1) Fig. 52. Use included arbor wrench
to remove the blade retaining nut (F1). Remove old
blade.
3. Place the new blade on the arbor with the teeth
pointing down as the blade rotates toward the front
of the saw table.
4. Replace the blade retaining nut and throat plate.
MAXIMUM BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The saw is designed so that the top of blade can be
raised to a maximum distance of 3-1/8" (79 mm) from
the table surface. If the saw is not achieving this height,
follow these steps:
1. Raise blade to its highest point, then back of slightly.
2. Loosen the blade height stop jam nut (G1) Fig. 53
slightly with a wrench.

3. Set blade height to 3-1/8" (79 mm).
4. Use a hex wrench in the stop bolt to turn the blade height stop into place against the arbor bracket. The stop can be
rotated in either direction until it jams against the trunnion.
5. Hold hex wrench in place and tighten the blade height stop jam nut.
6. Lower the blade and re-position against the blade height stop. Verify the height is still 3-1/8" (79 mm).
