Riving Knife/Spreader Alignment
WARNING:
Always make sure the blade is properly aligned
with the riving knife / spreader. If the blade and
the riving knife / spreader are not aligned this could
cause interference with the feeding and/or the
pinching of the work piece resulting in a kickback
situation and possible serious personal injury.
NEVER make any adjustments while the tool is
running. Always disconnect the tool before
making any adjustments, accidental start up of the
tool could result in serious personal injury.
The riving knife / spreader installation is factory-adjusted
so that the blade and the riving knife / spreader are
properly aligned. However, if the blade and the riving
knife / spreader come out of alignment this can be
corrected by first unplugging the tool to prevent
unintentional operation. Then the hex bolts as shown
in item 5 should be loosened using the specially
provided wrench. With the hex bolts loosened adjust
the riving knife/spreader so that it is aligned directly
behind the blade while maintaining equal clearance on
either side of the riving knife / spreader in relation to the
blade as shown in item 1. Once the riving knife
spreader is located properly lock the mounting means
into place by tightening the hex bolts as shown in item 5.
