This saw is shipped with its riving knife
the lowered or "non-thru cut" position. This riving knife
matches the thickness of the blade that is shipped with
your saw. To install the anti-kickback pawls and the
blade guard assembly, first raise the riving knife from the
lowered or "non-thru cut" position to the raised or
cut" position, as follows:
1.
With the blade assembly to the highest possible
position, carefully reach alongside the blade and
raise the riving knife locking lever up to unlock the
riving knife.
2.
Gently move the riving knife to the right to release it
from the lock pins in the riving knife assembly.
3.
Slide the riving knife up and forward until you feel
the lock pins engage the riving knife in the "thru
cut" position. When properly aligned in this position,
the "thru cut" position line on the riving knife will be
parallel to and level with the table.
4.
Return the riving knife lock lever to the lock position.
5.
Make sure the riving knife is securely installed and
properly aligned with the blade.
NOTE:
For "non-thru cuts", lower the riving knife to
the "non-thru cut" position using the same procedure.
In this case the "non-thru cut" position line should be
parallel to and level with the table.
INSERT AND LEVEL THROAT
PLATE
Insert the rear tab of the throat plate (G) (the end with
the wear plates) under the surface of the table, and
snap the front end in place (Fig. 15).
Check that the throat plate is properly adjusted to the
table. Front of throat plate should be level or slightly
below the surface of the table and rear of the throat
plate should be level or slightly above the surface of the
table (Fig. 15).
If adjustment is needed, remove the throat plate and
adjust the (4) Phillips set screws
needed. Replace throat plate and recheck. Repeat this
process as needed until the throat plate is level.
It is important that the throat plate is
properly adjusted to the table. This ensures that the
work piece is not caught on the throat plate or the table
when feeding the work piece through the blade during a
cut.
