The complete riving knife and guard assembly
is shown in Figure.7
Installation
Referring to Figure 8:
1. Set the saw blade to the 90 degree
position and raise it all the way (refer to
Handwheel Adjustments on Figure 16.)
2. Remove the table insert (J).
3. Located inside the table and accessible
through the insert opening (Figure 8
inset), place the quick-release clamp lock
handle (K) in the unlock position.
4. The floating clamp block (L) is spring
loaded and will move away (O) from the
fixed block (M), leaving a gap.
5. Insert the bottom of the riving knife
(N1,N2) all the way into the gap between
the clamp blocks (L, M); then lock the
handle (K).
6. Replace the insert (J) back on the table.
The saw blade and riving knife should
protrude through the slot in the insert.
You should feel a snap as each piece locks in
position. Attempt to lift as a test to make sure
that they are securely locked in place.

The clamping blocks (L, M, Fig. 8) are
adjusted at the factory and no further
adjustment of the blade guard and riving knife

alignment is very important. Before operating
the table saw, read Riving Knife Adjustment
(Page.22) to verify and follow the adjustment
procedure if necessary.
