RIVING KNIFE AND SAW BLADE ALIGNMENT

Blade and riving knife alignment is set at factory and in most cases will not need to be
adjusted. However, the alignment should always be checked after installing blade or riving
knife, and can be adjusted if necessary. If riving knife (X) is out of alignment with blade (W),
adjustment is needed. Riving knife (X) must be in alignment front to back (horizontally) and top to
bottom (vertically).
Note: Unplug saw. With bevel adjustment assembly in vertical (0 degree) position, raise blade (W) by
turning height/bevel adjusting wheel (P) clockwise. Remove anti-kickback pawls (B) and blade guard
(A).
To check/adjust (horizontally):
1. Place framing square (or straight edge) against both
blade (W) and riving knife (X). Blade (W) and riving
knife (X) are aligned if framing square contacts both
blade (W) and riving knife (X) evenly with no gaps.
Note: Place framing square between carbide teeth
and measure from blade. This step will ensure framing
square is square against blade from front to back of
blade.
2. If blade and riving knife are not aligned, using hex head
wrench, slowly turn top two set screws (located below
and to either side of riving knife lock knob) until the riving
knife (X) is aligned with the blade (W).
