Before adjusting the riving knife, loosen the two levers by
turning counterclockwise and press the top table on the
right side nearby the riving knife to its lowered position.
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.

1.
Install the rip fence on the table so that the rip fence
holder engages with the guide rail. Tighten the
clamping screw (B) of the rip fence firmly clockwise.
2.
Loosen the clamping screw (A).
3.
Slide the rip fence and secure it so that the far end from
you of the rip fence is aligned with the point at which the
front edge of saw blade just appears from top surface of
the workpiece. The purpose of this adjustment is to
reduce risk of kick-back toward operator that cut piece
from the workpiece is pinched between the saw blade
and rip fence and finally pushed out toward operator.
The line 3 varies by thickness of workpiece or the table
level. Adjust the position of the rip fence according to the
thickness of the workpiece.
After adjusting the rip fence, tighten the clamping
screw (A) firmly.
