TO LIMIT YOUR EXPOSURE TO THE BLADE AND ALSO TO MAXIMISE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ANTI-KICKBACK
PAWLS (WHEN USING THE RIVING STYLE SPLITTER & BLADE GUARD), NEVER TAKE MORE BLADE HEIGHT THAN
IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE CUT. WHEN SETTING THE BLADE HEIGHT FOR THROUGH-CUTS (CUTS ALL THE
WAY THROUGH THE THICKNESS OF A BOARD) SET THE HEIGHT OF THE BLADE TO ROUGHLY 1/4” HIGHER
THAN THE THICKNESS OF THE BOARD.

1/4”
BLADE TILT (BEVEL) ADJUSTMENT
The blade tilt (bevel) adjustment handwheel is located on
the side of the saw,
