CAUTION: 

• 

The ring 25.4 mm or 30 mm in outer diameter is 
factory-installed onto the spindle. Before mounting 
the blade onto the spindle, always be sure that the 
correct ring for the arbor hole of the blade you 
intend to use is installed onto the spindle. 

Return the lower blade guard A and center cover to its 
original position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to 
secure the center cover. Raise the blade guard B as far 
as it will go and tighten the clamping screw firmly while 
holding it in the raised position. Lower the handle to 
make sure that the lower blade guards move properly. 
Make sure shaft lock has released spindle before 
making cut.

Before adjusting the riving knife, loosen the two levers 
by turning counterclockwise and move the top table to its 
lowered position by turning the knob counterclockwise. 
Then secure the top table by firmly re-tightening the two 
levers as shown in the figure. 
There must be a clearance of about 4 - 5 mm between 
the riving knife and the blade teeth. Adjust the riving 
knife accordingly by loosening two hex bolts 
counterclockwise with the hex socket wrench and 
measuring the distance. Tighten the hex bolts securely, 
and then check to see that the top blade guard works 
smoothly before cutting.
