THE RIVING KNIFE
The Riving Knife is a very important component, and must be
fitted correctly.
The Riving Knife has two functions:
• It prevents the work-piece from binding as it passes through
the blade.
• It provides a suitable connection point for the blade guard.
To fit and/or check the Riving Knife:
WARNING: Ensure that this procedure is only carried out with
the machine disconnected from the mains supply.
• Remove the Table Access Plate by turning the fixing screw
¼ of a turn. Lift the Access Plate from the machine (Fig. 14).
Carefully store this component for later use.
• Raise the blade to its highest position - See page 21
'RAISING/LOWERING THE BLADE' section.
• Loosen the Riving Knife fixing bolt by several turns and raise
it to its highest point (Fig. 15).
• Slide the Riving Knife (it is slotted for convenience) between
the fixing plate and mounting block (Fig. 15). Ensure that the
mounting blocks projecting lugs engage with the slot in the

Riving Knife.

• Adjust the Riving Knife so that it is between 3 – 5mm from
the saw blade. The blade guard mounting hole on the riving
knife should be at least 10mm higher than the tooth peak.
(Fig. 16).
• When correct alignment is achieved tighten the fixing bolt.
• Check the saw blade rotates freely and teeth are within
3 - 5mm of the Riving Knife.
• Re-install the Table Access Plate.
