4.6 Riving knife
The riving knife prevents the saw blade from jamming during rip cutting. In addition, the riving knife retracts into
the machine during plunge cuts. This prevents kickback during the sawing process.
The correct distance to the saw blade is shown in the figure.
Use the following procedure to adjust the
distance of the riving knife:
1.
Pull out the power plug of the machine.
2.
Using the Allen key (B) provided, turn the screw
(16) counterclockwise to adjust it.
3.
Move the riving knife along its longitudinal slot
to adjust it.
Do not exceed the maximum distance to
➢
the saw blade (see Fig.. 10).
4.
Using the Allen key (B), turn the flange screw
(16) clockwise to tighten it.
