with the cut.

• The riving knife provided with the table saw shall be thicker than the body of the matching saw blades provided with the table

saw but thinner than the kerf width of that saw blades.

• Always use a blade with the correct thickness to match the riving knife. (0.10” (2.6mm) min. kerf width and 0.073” (1.85mm)

max body thickness).

• The riving knife must be securely positioned in the “up” or “through cut” position when using the antikickback pawls and blade
