Adjust the riving knife as described in this
instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective

in preventing kickback.

Always  use  the  riving  knife  except  when
plunge cutting. The riving knife must be replaced
after  plunge  cutting.  The  riving  knife  causes
interference  during  plunge  cutting  and  can  create

kickback.

For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged
in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in

preventing kickback during short cuts.

Do not operate the saw if the riving knife is
bent Even a light interference can slow the closing

rate of a guard.

Instructions on service and maintenance:

Regularly cleaning the machine, especially the
adjusting devices and guides, constitutes an

important safety factor.
