Adjustment
The riving knife must be properly aligned with the
blade and positioned the correct distance away
from it to work effectively.
As with changing the blade, always keep the saw
upright, and position the saw along the edge of
a workbench or table so that the blade and riv-
ing knife can be lowered safely down below the
surface edge.
To adjust the riving knife:
1.
Engage the plunge release and lower the
blade down until the riving knife lock is acces-
sible through the port hole (see Figure 12).
