Splitter Adjustment

To adjust the blade splitter square to the table, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER SOURCE!

2.Loosen the set screws shown in Figure 71 to allow the blade splitter to rotate on the support shaft.

3.Use a try square to adjust the blade splitter 90˚ to the table as shown in Figure 72. Tighten the set screws to lock the splitter in place.

To check and align the splitter to the blade, do these steps

1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER SOURCE!

2.Raise the blade to its maximum height. With a straightedge, check to make sure that the blade splitter is in-line with the blade, similar to Figure 29 on Page 21. If it is, tighten the adjustment bolts on the splitter bracket. If it is not, you need to realign the splitter to the blade

3.To align the splitter to the blade, loosen the two adjustment bolts shown in Figure 73 and the two adjustment bolts on the bracket that attaches the front of the splitter shown in Figure 71.

4.Align the blade and splitter so they both evenly touch the straightedge. Tighten all the adjusting bolts to secure the splitter in place.

The blade splitter MUST be installed and aligned with the blade before cutting, or the risk of kickback will be greatly increased and severe injury may occur. If you cannot get the blade splitter aligned with the blade, call our Technical Support for help.
