the adjustable square.
—
if the blade tip does not touch the end of
the adjustable square similar to the first
measurement, the table will need to be
adjusted. proceed to
Step 6.
—if the blade tip measurement is the same
on both sides, go to
Step 7.
6. to adjust the table, loosen the hex bolts in

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 before forced sideways
during the cut, which will increase the risk of kick-
back.
Tools Needed
Qty
straightedge ...................................................... 1
To check the spreader/riving knife alignment:
1. disConnECt saW FroM poWEr!
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" instruc-
tions on
page 68.
4. place the straightedge against the top and
bottom of blade and spreader/riving knife,
as shown in
Figure 114. the spreader/riv-
ing knife should be be parallel with the blade
along its length at both positions and should
be in the "alignment zone," as shown in
Figure 115.
