4.Lift and slide the riving knife to the approximate position indicated by the markings (non-thru and thru-position) on the riving knife and the lock pin will snap into place.

5.Tighten the riving knife lock knob.

WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the saw, always inspect the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance with saw blade. Check alignment after each change of bevel angle.

NOTE: DO NOT operate saw if riving knife is not locked in the thru cut (ZZ) or non-thru cut position (A1) hole.

When properly aligned, the riving knife will be in line with the blade at both table top level, and at the top of the blade. Using a straight edge, ensure that the blade (C) is aligned with the riving knife (FF) as shown in Figure 9. With power disconnected, operate the blade tilt and height adjustments through the extremes of travel and ensure the blade guard assembly clears the blade in all operations and that the anti-kickback assembly is functioning.

To Replace the Throat Plate (Fig. 6)

1.Align the throat plate as shown in Figure 6, and insert the tabs on the back of the throat plate into the holes on the back of the table opening.
