locked at a setting that is just below the table behind the
blade as shown in figure 5. This position would only be

knife/spreader release lever the unit will automatically
pop up above the table to provide an easy grasping
area on the unit so that it can be pulled up from below
the table and moved into the next desired position.

Riving Knife/Spreader Alignment
WARNING:
• Always make sure the blade is properly aligned with the
riving knife / spreader. If the blade and the riving knife /
spreader are not aligned this could cause interference with
the feeding and/or the pinching of the work piece resulting in
a kickback situation and possible serious personal injury.
• NEVER make any adjustments while the tool
is running. Always disconnect the tool before
making any adjustments, accidental start up of
the tool could result in serious personal injury.
The riving knife / spreader installation is factory-adjusted so that
the blade and the riving knife / spreader are properly aligned.
However, if the blade and the riving knife / spreader come out
of alignment this can be corrected by first unplugging the tool to
prevent unintentional operation. Then the hex bolts as shown in item 5 should be loosened using the specially provided wrench.
With the hex bolts loosened adjust the riving knife/spreader
so that it is aligned directly behind the blade while maintaining
equal clearance on either side of the riving knife / spreader in
relation to the blade as shown in item 1. Once the riving knife
spreader is located properly lock the mounting means into place
by tightening the hex bolts as shown in item 5.
