Riving Knife
Whenever the blade size is changed (12" or 14"
blade), the riving knife must be adjusted to 3mm
away from the blade you install.
To adjust the riving knife:
1. Disconnect the saw from the power
source!
2. Move the blade tilt to 0˚ (blade 90˚ to table),
and raise the main blade as far as it will go.
3. Move the sliding table all the way forward to
expose the internal blade guard that covers
the blades and riving knife.
4. Pull the blade guard away from the riving
knife to expose the mounting assembly.
(The internal blade guard is held in place
with a magnet.)
5. Loosen the riving knife center bolt, slide the
riving knife away from the blade as shown in
Figure 57, and slightly tighten.
