When properly aligned, the riving knife will be in line with the blade at both table top
level, and at the top of the blade. Using a straight edge, ensure that the blade (C) is
aligned with the riving knife (FF) as shown in Figure 8B. With power disconnected,
operate the blade tilt and height adjustments through the extremes of travel and insure
the blade guard assembly clears the blade in all operations and that the anti-kickback
assembly is functioning.

TO REPLACE THE THROAT PLATE

1. Align the throat plate as shown in Figure 7A, and insert the tabs on the back of
the throat plate into the holes on the back of the table opening.
2. Rotate cam counterclockwise until the front of throat plate drops into place.
Secure by rotating cam lock knob (CC) clockwise 1/4 turn (when cam lock is
under the table holding the throat plate in place).
3. The throat plate includes four adjustment screws which raise or lower the throat
plate. When properly adjusted, the front of the throat plate should be flush or
slightly below the surface of the table top and secured in place. The rear of the
throat plate should be flush or slightly above the table top.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, the throat plate must be
