Adjusting the splitter (FIG. D1-D3)
The splitter (3) has two positions: storage position (Fig.

storage position when you take it out of the package.
To place the splitter in the working position:

b. Raise the blade up to the highest position by turning
the blade control wheel counterclockwise. Set the
bevel at 0°. Make sure the bevel is locked tight.
c. Release the splitter locking lever by pulling the lever up.
d. Pull the splitter up to the working position. The two working
position holes should align with the two pins on the fixture.
e. Lock the splitter by pushing the splitter locking lever down.
Note: Make sure the splitter is locked securely.
f. Place the blade throat plate back on.
To adjust the splitter to be in the storage position:
Repeat steps a to c described above and slide the splitter down to the
storage position. Lock the splitter locking lever. Lower the blade to
the lowest position. The splitter should be under the saw table.
To adjust the height of the splitter (Fig. D3)
Loosen the two nuts (c). Adjust the two adjusting nuts
(d) to make sure the splitter is approximately 1/8” (3 mm)
above the blade tips. Tighten the two nuts (c).
To adjust the alignment of the splitter
The splitter must be precisely IN LINE with the saw blade.
Loosen the two nuts (c) and align the splitter with the saw
blade. Once aligned, hold the splitter. To prevent personal
Injury, always unplug the saw from power source before
making any adjustments.
