Assembly
Mount the Riving Knife and the Disc Guard
• Having the table insert in place, turn the knob (A) to move back
the bolt (B), leaving some free space so the riving knife can be set.
• Insert the riving knife all the way. Install the guard previously as
shown in figure C.
• Turn knob (A) counterclockwise to set the bolt out and inside the
riving knife orifice (D), securing the rivet knife and the guard in
place.
• Pull the rivet knife upward to verify is firmly set in place (E).
• The distance between the curved edge of the rivet knife and the
cutting disc teeth shall be between 0,11" and 0,31" as indicated in
figure F.
• Check the rivet knife is aligned with the cutting disc: set a ruler or
a straight and rigid edge against both, the disc and the rivet knife.
The rivet knife shall be within the alignment zone as indicated in
figure G. If not aligned properly, remove the table insert and adjust
the rivet knife loosening the screws (H), then, adjust the screws (I)
outward or inward until the rivet knife is aligned. Immediately after,
tighten the screws (H).
• Check the guard is mounted right: The guard shall touch and be
aligned with the table surface when not making contact with the
table, so the disc is covered. When pushing a work piece towards the
disc, the guard should move freely up, as the work piece comes
closer to the disc, as indicated in figure J.
CAUTION
• Each time you replace a disc, verify alignment and
mounting of the rivet knife and the guard.
• When replacing the rivet knife, it shall be replaced with one made
of steel, with tensile force of 580 N/mm2, with flat sides and
thickness smaller than the cutting width and at least, 0.007" larger
that the cutting disc plate (G).
