ASSEMBLY
CHANGING RIVING KNIFE POSITIONS
See Figure 10.
This saw is shipped with a riving knife that should be placed
in the “down” position for non-through cutting and must be
placed in the “up” position for all other cutting operations.
CAUTION:
Use caution when reaching inside the throat in the saw
table. Blade contact, even when the blade is still, may
result in injury to hands or arms.
Remove the battery.
To place in the “up” position for all through cutting:
Remove the throat plate.
Raise the saw blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting
handwheel clockwise.
Unlock the release lever by pulling it up.
Grasp the riving knife and pull it towards the right side of
the saw to release the riving knife from the spring-loaded
riving clamp.
Pull the riving knife up until the internal pins are engaged
and the riving knife is above the saw blade.
Lock the release lever by pushing the lever down.
WARNING:
Make sure the release lever is fully seated. If the
release lever is difficult to lock, thoroughly clean lever
components using compressed air or a clean soft cloth as
described in the Cleaning the Riving Knife Lock Lever
Plates section in Maintenance. Failure to completely
lock the release lever can allow the riving knife to change
position during saw use, which could result in serious
personaly injury.
Reinstall the throat plate.
