Operation and maintenance
(9) Riving knife and saw blade
1. Riving knife：Maintains kerfs opening during cutting
operations. The Purpose is crucial to preventing
kickback caused by the deaf closing behind the blade.
2. Main saw blade：The maximum is 305 mm.
(it is as option)
3. Scoring saw blade：It is rotates opposite the main
saw blade, the blade cores the work piece before the
actual cutting operation is performed preventing
tear-out in laminate materials. The scoring is adjustable
forward and backward, upper and down.
(10) Changing Main Blade
This saw is designed with 12" main saw blade, before
you change blade sizes, the riving knife must be
adjusted to match the size of blade you install.
1. Slide the table all the way forward to access the blade
arbor and pull open the blade guard. (Fig. 10A)
2. Use the arbor wrench to remove the arbor nut and
arbor flange, the arbor nut has left hand threads and
loosens by turning clockwise.
3. Slide the blade over the arbor with the teeth facing the
front of the saw
4. Re-install the arbor flange and the arbor nut and
tighten them against the blade
5. Loosen the riving knife center bolt, slide the riving knife
over the bolt (Fig. 10B) and slightly tighten.
6. Position the riving knife about 3mm or 1/8" away from
the nearest carbide tooth on the main blade. For a quick
gauge, use the 3mm next wrench to find the correct
spacing between the blade and the riving knife.
7. Tighten the center bolt to secure the riving knife in position.
8. Move the blade guard back to its original position, and
move the sliding table back to center.
WARNING
Wear gloves to protect your hands when
installing or removing blades.

(11) Scoring Blade
Aligning Scoring Blade Set
The scoring blade must be aligned with the main blade to
ensure satisfactory cutting results.
1. Move the blade tilt to 0° (blade 90° to table) and raise
the main blade all the way up.
2. Use T tool to adjust scoring blade (Fig. 11A)
3. Move the rip fence against the main blade
(or scoring blade)
4. Use the adjustment controls to move the scoring blade
so that the rip fence can touch both the scoring blade
and the main blade.
5. Lower the scoring blade to the correct height (2mm or
5/64"), perform a text cut, then make any final adjustment.
(12) Fence Scale Alignment
Before operation, the 0° mark on the rip fence scale
must be aligned with the right side of the blade to ensure
that the rip fence measurements will be accurate.
1. Move the blade tilt to 0° (blade 60° to table), and raise the
main blade all the way up.
2. Move the rip fence against the main blade
3. Loosen the cap screws securing the fence scale.
4. Slide the fence scale to line up the first mark on the
scale with the left edge of the rip fence and tighten the
cap screw.
5. Set the rip fence at 1/8", slide the adjustable right against
the rip fence body, and lock the ring in place. This will
prevent the fence from hitting the blade.
