Safety Device Alignment
Fig T013: Safety Device adjustments. (1) locking bolts. (2) adjustment set screws.
The riving knife, blade guard, or splitter must be aligned with the blade to be used effectively. The riving
knife should only be used with blades specified on the riving knife (or vice versa). To adjust the position of
the blade safety attachments, relative to the saw blade:
•
Loosen the two middle setting bolts. These two bolts fasten the assembly in-between the set screws
and the arbor block.
•
Adjust the set screws as needed to correct the out-of-align blade attachment. Do small adjustments
and check.
Table/Blade/Fence Alignment
Fig T021: Blade/Table alignment with mitre gauge and dial indicator.
It is good practice to make sure that the table is always parallel to the blade by checking it often. You can
do this with a combination square or with a dial indicator on an appropriate mount. There are several
dedicated tools to do this job well like the saw gauge sold by WoodPecekers®.
With the throat plate and all attachments removed, raise the blade to the highest position at 90 degrees with
the table. Take an initial measurement about ½ inch from the ground edge of the blade as shown.
Keep the mitre gauge against the left rail and slowly move across the blade. Take the second measurement
and compare with the initial measurement. Adjust the table to compensate false measurements. There are
3 bolts to loosen prior to adjusting the table.
