Adjusting the riving knife

The riving knife is an important safety device, which guides the workpie-
ce and prevents the kerf closing behind the saw blade and the workpiece
rebounding. Note the thickness of the riving knife - see numbers stam-
ped into the riving knife. The riving knife must not be thinner than the
body of the saw blade and not thicker than its kerf width.
• When replacing the saw blade as described, pull the sliding table towards
the operating station, until the riving knife is exposed.
• When replacing the saw blade as described, open the protective cover with
both hands.
