Adjusting the Riving Knife
Always check the clearance of the riving knife after
changing the saw blade.
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Set the saw on a table edge to allow clearance for
the blade to lower beyond the table surface.
3. Set the bevel angle to 0°.
4. Set the depth stop slider to max cutting depth.
5. Set the scoring cut stop to the disengaged position.
6. While pressing the lock-off button, lower and hold
the front handle at max depth.
7. Release the lock-off button and set the blade
change lever to the
position. The saw will be
locked in place at the max depth position.
8. To allow the riving knife to move freely, slightly
loosen the T25 screw visibile through the access
hole in the blade guard.

stop slider button and slide the depth stop slider
pointer along the scale to the desired depth.
3. Match up the top edge of the pointer with the
desired depth.
4. When using the saw with a guide rail, use the
side of the pointer.
5. When using the saw without a guide rail, use the
