TO CHECK ALIGNMENT:
1. Horizontal Alignment: Lay a straight edge on the table
against blade face
A
and make sure it extends out along
the riving knife
B
, see Figure 42. The riving knife should
just touch the straight edge. Be sure the straight edge
goes between the teeth and rests on the blade face and
the riving knife for proper alignment.
2. Vertical Alignment: Place a combination square on the
table and against the blade face and make sure it extends
up along the riving knife
B
see Figure 43. The riving
knife and blade should touch the carpenter’s square with
no gaps. Be sure the straight edge goes between the teeth
and rests on the blade face and the riving knife for proper
alignment.
NOTE: If the riving knife and blade are out of horizontal or vertical
alignment, refer to riving knife alignment instructions on page 23
of this manual.
Figure 42
CHECKING RIVING KNIFE
ALIGNMENT
Before connecting the table saw to the
power source and operating the saw, ALWAYS inspect
the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper
alignment and clearance with saw blade. Check the riving
knife alignment after each blade change.

CHECKING BLADE PARALLELISM
TO MITER GAUGE GROOVE (HEEL)
See Figures 44 & 45.
• Blade
A
MUST be parallel to miter gauge groove so that
wood does not bind, resulting in kickback.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
• To reduce risk of injury from kickback, align miter gauge
groove to blade
A
following any blade adjustments.
DO NOT loosen any screws for this adjustment until alignment has
been checked with a square to be sure adjustments are necessary.
Once screws are loosened, items MUST be reset.
NOTE: Unplug saw. Remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
Raise the blade
A
by turning height adjusting wheel.
1. Mark beside one of blade teeth at front of blade
A
(Figure 44-1). Place the combination square against the
marked tooth at the front of the blade
A
with the head
of the square against the miter gauge groove as shown.
2. Turn blade
A
so that marked tooth is at back. Move
combination square to the rear and again measure the
distance (2). If the distances are the same, blade
A
is
parallel.
