NOTE:

This table saw is provided with a 10 in. diameter blade with a body thickness of 1.8 mm (0.07 in.) thick with a kerf of 2.6 mm (0.1 in.). The riving knife is

2.2 mm (0.09 in.) thick. The blade diameter and the blade body and kerf dimensions must be properly matched with the riving knife thickness.

The maximum radial distance between the riving knife and the toothed rim of the saw blade is 0.12 in ~ 0.31 in. (3 mm ~ 8 mm)

The tip of the riving knife shall not be lower than 0.04 in. ~ 0.2 in. (1 mm ~ 5 mm) from the tooth peak.

The riving knife is thinner than the width of the kerf by approximately 1/64 in. (0.4 mm) on each side.

The blade body must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife but the blade kerf must be thicker than the riving knife.

4.Take the blade guard assembly (5) and locate the sliding locking knob (6) on the back of assembly.

5.Insert the blade guard assembly onto the riving knife so that the pin (7) engages into slot (8) completely.

6.Slide the locking knob (6) up and press the guard assembly down so that the entire assembly is flat on the riving knife. Release the locking knob.

7.Make sure that the assembly is locked in place both in front and back.
