RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s applications and limitations, as well as poten-
ial hazards. General® MFG disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury that may result
t
from improper use of its equipment.

of debris.
3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when
the saw is in operation; do not permit them to
operate the saw.
4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all

and switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.
5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided atten
tion. Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious injury.
6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be
hazardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area
and whenever possible use a dust collector and
wear eye, ear and respiratory protection devices.
7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets,necklaces or other jewelry while the saw is in operation.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair
and wear non-slip footwear.
8. Be sure that adjusting wrenches, tools, drinks and
other clutter are removed from the machine and/or
the feed table surface before operating.
9. Keep hands well away from the blade and all moving parts. Use a brush, not hands, to clear away
chips and dus

16. To minimize risk of injury in the event of workpiece
kickback, never stand directly in-line with the blade
or in the potential kickback path of the work piece.
17. Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions. Do not overreach while cutting; keep both
feet on floor. Never lean over or reach over the
blade and never pull the work piece over the blade
from behind. Use out feed support or have an assistant help when ripping long material.
18. Keep blade guards in place and in working order.
If a guard must be removed for maintenance or

BASIC FUNCTIONS
The parts and components supplied in this 650RNK riving knife retro-fit / conversion kit have been designed to fit on
General MFG 3HP* left tilt model 650** saw only.
a
*For 5 HP motors, modifications to the motor shaft will be required - contact our technical service or your local distributor for details
before attempting this conversion.
** If you have a model 350 right-tilt saw, you will require retro-fit kit model #350RNK. This kit cannot be fitted to a model 350 Righttilt saw!
HIS KIT HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED NOR TESTED TO FIT ON ANY SAW MODEL OTHER THAN AS SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL. ANY
T
TTEMPTS TO FIT OR USE THESE PARTS AND COMPONENTS ON ANY SAW OTHER THAN THE MODEL INTENDED, MAY LEAD TO
A
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DAMAGE TO YOUR SAW AND/OR TO THE PARTS AND COMPONENTS OF THIS KIT.
A word a
Upon completion of your saw conversion using this kit, your saw will be equipped with the latest feature available
for North American table saws: A quick connect/ quick release riving knife style of splitter.
A riving knife is considered a newer design for North American saws which traditionally have been equipped with
various fixed height splitter assemblies which perform a similar function. The riving knife has proven effective and
has been in use on saws in Europe for many years and is becoming a required table saw safety accessory for new
saws throughout most of North America.
The riving knife sits behind the blade to help prevent a workpiece, as it is pushed through the cut,from closing back
and “pinching” the blade or from drifting away from the rip fence and catching the rear portion of the saw blade.
Such situations can lead to what is commonly referred to as a kickback, where by the shear force of the saws motor
and with the forward rotation of the blade,the workpiece is lifted and violently ejected towards the front of the saw.
A kickback can cause serious injury to the user or to anyone within its path.
A traditional splitter does not raise or lower with the blade – it stays at a fixed height at all times, meaning that when
the blade is lowered, the distance between the splitter and the back of the blade increases. The generally accepted theory is that more space between the splitter and the back of the blade does slightly increase the possibility

The riving knife however is designed into the blade height adjustment mechanism and not only will it tilt with the
blade but also raise or lower as the blade is raised or lowered, thus keeping it at the exact same distance, usually

Before Starting:
To obtain a good understanding of what will be required, start by watching the DVD video which shows the major
steps and includes some helpful tips and tricks.
After watching the DVD video, read this entire manual and make sure you have all the tools and equipment
required to complete this conversion before starting.
The conversion of an older saw to the new style riving knife design involves heavy lifting, as well as partial disassembly and then re-assembly of some of the major internal components of your saw. Upon completion of re-assembly,
e-alignment of the saws table in relation to the blade is also required. If you are not equipped for or comfortable
r
with this type of mechanical work or if you have any doubt that the required lifting, disassembly, re-assembly or realignment steps are beyond your abilities or skill level:
Stop immediately and proceed no further. Return this kit
and all components in its original packaging to the place of purchase for refund, or contact your local
General/General International distributor to inquire if any on-staff technicians are available and to obtain a quote
to have this kit installed by a trained technician.

height and install the new table insert in the table
opening. Depending on your table casting it may
be necessary to file down a portion of the inserts

Note: Depending on your table casting it may be necessary to partially grind down one or several of the protrusions in the table opening to obtain full clearance.

33. Set the blade to 90° and using an accurate dial
indicator in either of the miter slots. Check and set
the miter slot parallel to the blade to within 5 thousandths of an inch, by gently tapping on the
appropriate edge of the table with a rubber mallet. Gradually tighten all 4 cap screws while regularly double checking alignment until the table is
secured in place.
35. Adjust the saws 90° and 45° bevel stops and the angle indicator pointer as per the instructions supplied on
page 22 of the new manual supplied in your kit for the 650R saw.
36. Install and adjust the riving knife as per the instructions supplied on page #11-13 of the new manual supplied
in your kit for the 650R saw.
37. With the blade at maximum height and the riving knife installed, manually rotate the blade at least one full turn
at both 90° and again at 45°. Check for obstructions and to confirm that you have full blade and saw carriage
clearance. If needed, return to previous steps and re-adjust or grind down any obstructions before turning on
the saw.
34. Raise the blade to its maximum and measure it’s
height above the table. Maximum blade height
(for a 10” diameter blade) is 3 1/8”. If needed,
adjust the blade height limiter bolt on the bottom
of the slotted arm, to obtain a 3 1/8” blade height.
O AVOID DAMAGING THE BLADE OR ANY OF THE
T
INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THE SAW, DO NOT
ADJUST TO GO BEYOND A 3 1/8” BLADE HEIGHT.
38. Re-install the fence rails, switch and motor cover door. Before plugging in and using the saw, follow the instruc-
tions in your new 650R saw manual (supplied with this kit) to:
