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 (B) is aligned with the riving knife (FF) as shown in Figure 8B. With power disconnected, operate the blade tilt and height adjustments through the extremes of travel and insure the blade guard assembly clears the blade in all operations and that the anti-kickback assembly is functioning.

TO REPLACE THE THROAT PLATE

1.Align the throat plate as shown in Figure 7A, and insert the tabs on the back of the throat plate into the holes on the back of the table opening.

2.Rotate cam counterclockwise until the front of throat plate drops into place. Secure by rotating cam lock knob (CC) clockwise 1/4 turn (when cam lock is under the table holding the throat plate in place).

3.The throat plate includes four adjustment screws which raise or lower the throat plate. When properly adjusted, the front of the throat plate should be flush or slightly below the surface of the table top and secured in place. The rear of the throat plate should be flush or slightly above the table top.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, the throat plate must be locked in place at all times.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, the anti-kickback assembly must be in place for all possible cuts.

1.Remove the anti-kickback assembly (Q) from the storage position. See Storage (page 14).

2.Locate the anti-kickback mounting hole and slot (EE) at the top of the riving knife (FF).

3.Slide the anti-kickback housing along the top of the riving knife until the stem (GG) locates the slot above the mounting hole. Depress the stem (GG) on the anti-kickback assembly to allow the assembly to drop into the hole (EE). Push down on the anti-kickback assembly until it snaps into place and locks the assembly. NOTE: Pull up on the anti-kickback assembly to ensure it has locked into place.
