Making Adjustments to Your Saw
Next, loosen the horizontal positioning bolts using an 8 mm hex L-wrench. Loosen the bolts just enough to
allow the clamp mounting bracket to slide along its mounting surface. Reinstall the blade and raise the blade
to the fully elevated position.
Place a straight edge along the right side of the blade, making sure the straight edge runs between the teeth of
the blade. Now adjust the position of the clamp until the right side of the spreader is ush and at against the
straight edge. If necessary, pivot the right anti-kickback pawl up out of the way while performing this step.
Note: if you are using a thin-kerf blade (i.e., kerf
is 0.080 to 0.094 in.), you may need to place one
or more shims between the straight edge and
the side of the blade to ensure the spreader is
centered with the blade.
Once the spreader is positioned parallel to the
blade, check the distance between the curved,
front edge of the spreader and the edge of the
blade. There should be a gap of approximately
5-7 mm between the center-point of the arc on
the front of the spreader and the rear edge of the
blade (see Fig. 72). If necessary, slide the clamp
forward or backward until the spacing between the
blade and the spreader is approximately correct.
7. Aligning the Riving Knife and Spreader to the Blade:
For safe operation, the spreader and riving knife should be aligned parallel to the blade, and positioned inside
the kerf of the blade. The spreader, or alternatively, the riving knife, is held in position by a quick-release clamp
mounted under the table and behind the blade (see Fig. 71). Once the clamp is properly adjusted, the spreader
and riving knife will automatically align to the blade when installed in the clamp.
To adjust the clamp, set the tilt angle to
0° and remove the table insert. Remove
the blade and set it aside for a moment.
Make sure the spreader is installed, and
lower the blade elevation to zero.
