“non-thru cut" position line should be parallel to and level with
the table.

Refer to Fig. 5 & 6.
This saw is shipped with its riving knife
(E)
installed in the
lowered or “non-thru cut” position. This riving knife matches
the thickness of the blade that is shipped with your saw. To
install the anti-kickback pawls and the blade guard assembly,
first raise the riving knife from the lowered or “non-thru cut”
position to the raised or "
thru
cut" position, as follows:
1.
With the blade assembly to the highest possible
position, carefully reach alongside the blade and raise
the riving knife locking lever up to unlock the riving
knife.
2.
Gently move the riving knife to the right to release it
from the lock pins in the riving knife assembly.
3.
Slide the riving knife up and forward until you feel
the lock pins engage the riving knife in the “thru cut”
position. When properly aligned in this position, the
“thru cut" position line on the riving knife will be parallel
to and level with the table.
4.
Return the riving knife lock lever to the lock position.
5.
Make sure the riving knife is securely installed and
properly aligned with the blade.

INSERT AND LEVEL THROAT
PLATE
Insert the rear tab of the throat plate (G) (the end with the
wear plates) under the surface of the table, and snap the front
end in place (Fig. 7).
Check that the throat plate is properly adjusted to the table.
Front of throat plate should be level or slightly below the
surface of the table and rear of the throat plate should be level
or slightly above the surface of the table (Fig. 7).
If adjustment is needed, adjust the (4) Phillips set screws
(Fig.
8A)
up or down as needed. Repeat this process as needed until
the throat plate is level.
To remove throat plate, lower blade below tabletop, then
carefully slide the throat plate from out from the rear of the
table to the front, keeping the blade centered within the slot
on the throat plate. (Fig. 8B)
It is important that the throat plate is
properly adjusted to the table. This ensures
that the work piece is not caught on the throat plate or the
table when feeding the work piece through the blade during a
cut.

0,7 mm above the plane of the table top at the out-feed side.
