[] With the front of the blade guard raised, lower the back of the guard into the middle hole of the spreader/ riving knife. Push the front of the guard down until it is parallel to the table (see figure 15). If the blade guard is not parallel to the table, the riving knife is not in the spreader (or "up") position.

[] Lock the guard in place by pushing the guard lever down.

NOTE: Blade alignment with the spreader can be adjusted

for different blade widths. Refer to: To Check and Align the Spreader/Riving Knife and Saw Blade. Check the blade

[] The saw blade and spreader/riving knife are aligned when the framing square contacts both the blade and spreader/riving knife evenly with no gaps.
