Use and Care Manual

The blade tilting mechanism allows the blade to be tilted

up to 45° to the left.

To tilt the saw blade, loosen the lock knob (DD) Fig. 23

counterclockwise and turn handwheel (CC). A pointer (EE)

Fig. 24 indicates the angle of tilt on the scale, marked in

1/2-degree increments.

To lock the saw blade at your desired angle, tighten the

lock knob (DD).

THROAT PLATE ADJUSTMENT

The throat plate (FF) Fig. 25 needs to be level to the saw

table. If the throat plate is not level with the saw table,

adjust the plate using four set screws (GG). Lower or raise

set screws as needed to align throat plate level to the saw

table.

RIVING KNIFE OPERATION AND

ADJUSTMENT

POSITIONING THE RIVING KNIFE

The riving knife (J) Fig. 26 is a at plate that ts into the

cut made by the saw blade and effectively ghts kickback

by lessening the tendency of the blade to bind in the cut.

(NOTE: Safety devices removed for clarity in Fig. 26.

Be sure to always use safety devices when possible.)

The riving knife (J) Fig. 27 and Fig. 28 can be used in

through cuts (where the workpiece is completely cut in

two) and non-through cuts. The riving knife can be moved

to the high position (Fig. 27) for through cuts and to the

low position (Fig. 28) for non-through cuts.

NOTE: When adjusting the riving knife up or down, be

sure to pull in a radial motion, as shown in Fig. 28A.

To adjust the riving knife position, there are two methods:

FRONT-RELEASE (PRIMARY METHOD)

1. Pull front riving knife release handle (II) Fig. 29 in front
