Spreader or Riving Knife Alignment 

 

Checking Alignment 

The blade guard spreader and riving knife must be aligned with the blade when installed. If the 
spreader/riving knife is not aligned with the blade, then the workpiece will be forced sideways 
during the cut, which will increase the risk of kickback. 
 
1.  Disconnect and lockout power to the saw! 

2.  Raise the saw blade to the maximum height so you have easy working access. 

3.  Check to make sure the blade is 90° to the table. Follow "Setting 90° Stop Bolt" instructions. 

4.  Place the straightedge against the top and 

bottom of blade and spreader/riving knife. The 
spreader/riving knife should be parallel with the 
blade along its length at both positions and 
should be in the "Alignment Zone". 

  If the spreader is in the alignment zone no 

adjustments need to be made. 

  If the spreader/riving knife is not parallel with 

the blade and inside the alignment zone, then it 
needs to be adjusted. Proceed to Adjusting Alignment instructions. 

  If the spreader/riving knife is not parallel with the blade at either the top or bottom, it may be 

bent. Remove the spreader/riving knife and place it on a flat surface and check to see if the 
spreader/riving knife lays evenly along its length. If the spreader/riving knife does not lay 
evenly, proceed to Adjusting Bent Spreader/Riving Knife. 

 
 

Aligning Blade Guard Splitter or Riving Knife with Blade 

The blade guard splitter and/or riving knife must 
be aligned with the blade. If not properly aligned, 
the splitter/riving knife will force the workpiece 
sideways during the cut, increasing risk of 
kickback. 
1.  Disconnect saw from power source. 

2.  Place a straightedge against the blade and the 

splitter or riving knife and check for parallelism. 

  If an adjustment is needed, the mounting 

position can be adjusted into alignment with 
the blade using the adjustment set screws (A). 

3.  Remove the table insert.
