2. Fitting the Riving Knife
WARNING:
Ensure that this procedure is only carried out with
the machine disconnected from the mains supply.
The Riving Knife is a very important component, and must be
fitted correctly. The Riving Knife has two functions:
•
It prevents the workpiece from binding as it passes through
the blade.
•
It provides a suitable connection point for the blade guard.
To fit the Riving Knife:
•
Remove the table insert by rotating its fixing screw
(Fig 2)
approx 1/4 turn.Lift & slide the table insert from the table.
•
Raise the blade to its highest position. (see Operations 2)
•
Loosen the Riving Knife fixing bolt by several turns.
•
Slide the Riving Knife (it is slotted for convenience) between
the fixing plate and mounting block.
(Fig. 3)
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.
(Fig. 4)
•
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 insert.
