POSITION THE RIVING KNIFE

A riving knife is a at plate that ts into the cut made by

the saw blade (the “kerf”). It is intended to reduce the

risk of kickback by holding the kerf open and lessening

the tendency of the workpiece to pinch the blade.

To reduce the risk of serious injury,

y The riving knife must be installed for every "thru

cut" and for every "non-thru cut" unless the riving

knife would interfere with the cut.

y 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)

y The riving knife must be securely positioned in the

“up” or “thru cut” position when using the anti-

kickback pawls and blade guard.

y Make sure the riving knife is properly aligned to the

blade see Riving Knife Alignment section.
