Three Operating Positions of the
Riving Knife/Spreader Unit
Spreader Position
WARNING:
• This position is used for through-cutting
operations and the guard assembly with the
side guards should always be used for this
type of operation. Conducting a through-cut
without proper guarding may result in serous
personal injury.
The riving knife/spreader unit can be made ready for
the attachment of the guard assembly and side guards
by positioning it at the maximum adjustable height as
shown in Fig 3. In this position the unit is raised above
the blade so that the guard assembly can be installed
and made operational. Make sure that the release lever
located at the back of the table saw has returned to
the position as shown in figure 1. Before mounting the
guard be sure to check that the riving knife/spreader
unit is in a locked position by pulling up and pushing
down on the unit to ensure there is no movement.
