ALIGNMENT

RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT

WITH THE BLADE

Alignment between the riving knife and blade is set

at the factory and, in most cases, will not need to

be adjusted. However, the alignment should always

be checked after installing blade or riving knife, and

can be adjusted if necessary. If riving knife is out of

alignment with blade, adjustment is needed. Riving

knife must be in alignment front to back (horizontally)

and top to bottom (vertically).
To adjust the riving alignment, see Figure 37 and

proceed as follows:

1. Remove the throat plate, blade guard and anti-

kickback assemblies.

2. Raise the blade to full depth of cut and set the tilt

angle to 0°.

3. Raise the riving knife to the through-cutting or

highest position.

4. Slightly loosen the two socket head cap screws (C).
5. Lay straight edge against the blade face and

riving knife as instructed for checking horizontal

alignment (see Figure 20a, page 20).

6. Adjust the set screws (A) to move the riving knife in

line with the blade according to its position when

you checked the alignment above.

7. Lay the straight edge on the opposite side of the

blade. Both sides of the riving knife should be

within the thickness of the blade body.

8. If it is not possible to align both sides of riving knife

within the thickness of the blade body, you need to

use a different size blade. See Blade Selection on

page 17.

9. Tighten the two socket head cap screws.
10. Place a carpenter’s square on the table, and against

the blade face and riving knife as instructed for

checking vertical alignment (See Figure 20b, page

20). Then verify that the riving knife is perpendicular

to table and in-line with the blade face.

11. If needed, use the set screws (D) to align the riving

knife with blade face and the square.

12. Fully tighten the two socket head cap screws.
13. Replace throat plate, blade guard and anti-kickback

assemblies before use.

If any dragging or binding of the

workpiece is encountered as it

reaches the riving knife, turn unit off and disconnect

machine from power source and readjust the riving

knife/blade alignment or replace the blade. Never

attempt to back partially-cut workpiece out of blade

while blade is moving.

ADJUSTING THE MITER STOPS

To adjust the index stops for angles other than 90°,

75°, 60°, 45° and 30°:

1. Loosen the miter gauge handle.
2. Loosen the 2 screws for the miter stop segment

for the desired new angle. (A) is shown in Figure

35.

3. Move the stop to proper position.
4. Re-tighten the 2 segment screws and handle.
