41. Install the push stick holder with (1) M8-1.25 x
10 hex bolt and flat washer.
42. Slide the fence out of the way.
43. Ensure the blade is raised all the way up and
the blade angle is 0°.
44. Unthread the lock knob on the riving knife/
blade guard mounting block several turns.
Push the riving knife away from the knob, and
then lift the riving knife up to remove it.
The riving knife is installed for shipping purposes.
Although it is possible to use the riving knife for
through-cutting operations, the blade guard
assembly offers far more injury protection and risk reduction than the riving knife. Therefore, we
strongly recommend that you use the blade guard instead of the riving knife for through cuts.
Note: The two pins in the mounting block fit into matching slots on the riving knife,
keeping it secured.
45. Verify that the fence is parallel with the blade/miter slot (refer to Parallelism & Clamping
Pressure). The blade was set parallel with the miter slot at the factory, which affects whether
the fence is parallel when mounted to the table.
46. Install the blade guard as instructed in "Installing Blade Guard & Spreader".
47. Verify the blade tilt stop accuracy. This adjustment was performed at the factory. However,
because of the many variables involved with shipping, we recommend that you verify this
adjustment to ensure that this saw cuts safely and accurately.
48. Lower the blade all the way down and install the blade insert.
49. If using a zero-clearance blade insert, follow the procedure in Cutting a Zero Clearance
Insert to complete the insert installation.
