*% Place the straightedge alternately against the top and bottom of blade and spreader/riving knife, as shown in =`^li\(''. The spreader/riving knife should be parallel with the blade along its length at both positions, and it should be in the "Alignment Zone," as shown in =`^li\('(.

If the spreader/riving knife is not parallel with the blade and inside the alignment zone, then it needs to be adjusted. Proceed to 8[aljk`e^8c`^ed\ek instructions.

If the spreader/riving knife is not parallel with the blade at either the top or bottom, it may be bent.

+% Remove the spreader/riving knife and place it on a flat surface and check to see if the spreader/riving knife lays evenly along its length.

If the spreader/riving knife does not lay evenly, proceed to 8[aljk`e^9\ekJgi\X[\i&I`m`e^Be`]\ on GX^\-0.
