THROAT PLATE
1. To install throat plate, lower blade below tabletop,
then carefully feed the throat plate, with plate end
first, from the front of the table to the rear, keeping
the blade centered within the slot on the throat
plate. See Figure 11. The plate should rest within
the cavity in the tabletop on top of 5 flat head
screws.
2. Ensure that the throat plate is flush with the top of
the table.
3. If the throat is not flush with the tabletop, adjust
the height of the throat plate using the five set
screws (A) below the throat plate.
NOTE: When installing riving knife, anti-kickback
pawls and blade guard, blade must be at 90° setting
and raised to the maximum height. See Raising and
Lowering Blade, page 18.
BLADE AND RIVING KNIFE

personal injury, the riving knife must
be installed and properly positioned for every
possible through and non-through cut.
1. Your saw is shipped with the blade and riving knife
installed and properly aligned. The riving knife
comes installed in the low, non-through cutting
position. Prior to operating your saw, check
to make sure the alignment of the blade to the

miter slot and the riving knife to the blade was not
affected by shipping. To check alignment of the
blade and riving knife, see page 28 in the Alignment
section of this manual.
2. The riving knife comes installed in the low, non-
through cutting position. To attach the anti-
kickback pawls and blade guard assemblies, the
riving knife must be in the raised position as shown
in Figure 12. To raise and lower the riving knife, see
Riving Knife Height Settings on page 20.
ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS
To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, anti-kickback pawls
must be in place when making a through cut.
1. Refer to Figure 12 and locate the anti-kickback
pawls mounting slot (A) in the middle of the top
edge of the riving knife.
2. Slide slot in the middle of the anti-kickback pawls
assembly along the top of the riving knife until the
stem (B) locates the center slot on the riving knife.
3. Depress the stem on the anti-kickback pawls
assembly (B) to allow the assembly to drop
into the slot. Push down on the anti-kickback
pawls assembly until it snaps into place and
locks. Release stem. NOTE: Pull up on the anti-
kickback pawls to make sure it is locked in
