Riving Knife Adjustment
Lateral alignment
The saw blade and riv ing knife must be in line as
close as possible with each other (lateral alignment) for the prevention of kickback. Upon
initial blade guard and riving knife installation no
further adj ustment should be necessary. Ali gnment
should be checked an d adjusted, if r equired, after
each blade change.
Check the alignment as follows:
1. Remove the blade guard and pawl (C, E,
Fig. 7).
2. Place a straightedge (A, Fig. 13) on the table
so it rests against the blade (B, Fig 13) and
riving knife (C, Fig. 13). Rotate the blade so the

a combination square. Make sure to measure
between the teet h not on t he toot h (Figur e 16) .
4. Rotate the blade toward the front so that the
marked tooth i s just above the insert. M easure
the distance from the side of the blade to the
right T-slot edge. The two measurements
should be the same.
Figure 16
5. If they are not the same, loosen four hex
socket cap screws (A, Fig. 17) that hold the
table to the base. T wo are shown in Fi gur e 17.
6. Make the needed adj ustments and tighten the
four hex socket cap screws firmly.
7. Check the alignment once again after
tightening har dware.
Adjusting 45 and 90 Positive Stops
The stops hav e been adjusted at the fact ory. After
a period of use, or, after moving the saw to another
location, the stops may no longer be set properly.
To check and adjust the stops:
Tools: 12mm wrench, combination square
1. Disconnect saw f r om power source.
2. Raise the saw blade to its maximum height
using the handwheel.
3. Set the blade at 90 degrees to the table by
turning the blade tilting handwheel clockwise
as far as it will go.
Figure 17
4. Place a combination square on the table
against the blade and check to see that the
blade is at a 90 angl e to the tabl e, Figure 18.
Make sure square is not touching a blade
tooth.

5. If blade is not at 90 degrees, open the motor
cover door, loosen lock nut (A, Fig. 19) and
turn adjusting stop screw (B, Fig. 19) on the
front trunnion in, or out. The adjusting stop
screw should stop against the front trunnion
bracket when the blade is 90 to the table.
6. Tighten the lock nut (A, Fig. 19).
7. Set the blade at 45 degrees to the table by
turning the blade tilting handwheel counterclockwise as far as it will go. Place a
combination square on the table against the
blade. Make sure square is not touching a
blade tooth.
8. If the blade is not 45 degrees, remove the
raising and lowering handle. Loosen lock nut
(A, Fig. 19) and turn adjusting stop screw
(B, Fig. 19) on t he front t r unnion in, or out. The
adjusting stop screw should stop against the
front tr unnion bracket when the blade i s 45 to
the table.
9. Check t he accuracy of t he pointer (C, Fig. 20)
on the angle scale and adjust, if necessary.
Assembly and adjustment of the saw are now
complete. Make sure all f asteners are tight . The
saw may now be placed into operation.
