RIVING KNIFE
Warning!
Before fitting the riving knife make sure the
machine is disconnected from the mains supply.
The riving knife must be fitted correctly before using
the table saw.
The riving knife has two functions:
It prevents the work-piece from binding as it passes
through the blade.
It provides a suitable connection point for the blade
guard.
To fit and/or check the riving knife:
Remove the table access plate by turning the fixing
screw ¼ of a turn (Fig.24). Lift the access plate from
the machine (Fig.25) and store in a safe place for later
use.
Raise the blade to its highest position by turning the
bevel adjustment hand wheel clockwise, Fig.26.
Loosen the riving knife fixing bolt by several turns and
raise it to its highest point (Fig.27).
Slide the riving knife (it is slotted for convenience)
between the fixing plate and mounting block (Fig.27).
Ensure that the mounting blocks projecting lugs
engage with the slot in the riving knife.
Adjust the riving knife so that it is between 3 – 5mm
from the saw blade. The tip of the riving knife shall not
be lower than 5mm from the tooth peak. (Fig.28).
When correct alignment is achieved tighten the fixing
bolt.
Check the saw blade rotates freely and teeth are
within 3 - 5mm of the riving knife.
Re-install the table access plate.
INSTALLING THE BLADE GUARD
The blade guard must be attached to the machines
riving knife. Note: The machine should never be used
without this guard in its service position.
Warning ! The machine must be disconnected from
the mains supply when installing the blade guard.
To install the blade guard raise the blade to its full
height by turning the bevel adjustment hand wheel
clockwise. This will reveal the riving knife.
The guards locating pin should be positioned through
the hole machined in the riving knife and the locking
nut fitted to one side. The blade guard must move up
and down easily and smoothly, so do not over-tighten
this nut (Fig.29).
Check the operation of the blade guard. Ensure that it
is working efficiently and covers the crown of the
blade.
Lower the blade a little and recheck that the blade
guard operation.
When satisfied that the blade guard works throughout
the blades height adjustment range, check that the
guard works equally well with the blade at a bevel
angle (Fig.30).
To tilt the blade loosen the bevel locking knob
(Fig.31).
Push the hand-wheel in against its bias spring until it
engages with the tilt rack.
Use the hand-wheel to set the required angle.
Check that when the blade is fully lowered, the blade
guard is in contact with the table top.
INSTALLING THE RIP FENCE
This machine has a two piece rip fence.
The rip fence face plate labelled V must be attached
to the rip fence labelled M using the bolts and finger
nuts provided.
Insert the bolts through the holes on the left hand side
of the rip fence and loosely tighten the finger nut on
the right side.
Slide the rip fence face plate onto the rip fence over
the heads of the bolts (Fig.32).
Tighten the two finger nuts.
To attach the Rip Fence:
Hook the rear of the rip fence guide over the rear rip
fence rail.
With the handle in its upper position, locate the front
of the rip fence over the front rip fence rail.
Push the handle down to lock the rip fence in place
(Fig. 33).
