Installing/Changing Blade; Position The Riving Knife - ShopMaster Delta S36-300T2 Guide D'utilisation

INSTALLING/CHANGING BLADE

Ensure riving knife lock lever is in unlocked position
(FIGURE 10).
Remove nut and the outer flanged washer from shaft assembly. Place
blade on the arbor shaft with the teeth on the blade pointing toward
the front of the saw. SHOPMASTER logo on the blade will be facing
toward the left side of the saw. Place flanged washer on the shaft with
the large side of the washer towards the blade, then secure blade
assembly with nut (FIGURE 10).
Tighten nut with blade wrenches (L) from the on-board storage area
on the right side of the saw. Open end wrench will fit on the arbor
shaft between the inner flange washer and the motor assembly (if
necessary, turn shaft to align flats on the arbor shaft to the wrench).
Closed end wrench will fit on the nut. See FIGURE 10a.
Return wrenches (L) to on-board storage location. Return riving knife
lock lever to locked position. Return throat plate (G) making sure to
lock tab on rear of throat plate under table top as shown in FIGURE
10b.
NOTE: Use only 10"(254mm) diameter blades with 5/8" (16mm) arbor
holes, rated at 5,000 rpm of higher, 0.10" (2.6 mm) min. kerf width
and 0.073" (1.85 mm) max body thickness. Only use 10 in. blades
designed for wood cutting.

POSITION THE RIVING KNIFE

A riving knife is a flat plate that fits into the cut made by the saw blade
(the "kerf"). It is intended to reduce the risk of kickback by holding the
kerf open and lessening the tendency of the workpiece to pinch the
blade.
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
knife must be installed for every "thru cut" and for
every "non-thru cut" unless the riving knife would interfere with the
cut.
• The riving knife provided with the table saw shall be thicker than
the body of the matching saw blades provided with the table saw
but thinner than the kerf width of that saw blades.
• Always use a blade with the correct thickness to match the riving
knife. (0.10" (2.6mm) min. kerf width and 0.073" (1.85mm) max
body thickness)
• The riving knife must be securely positioned in the "up" or "thru
cut" position when using the anti-kickback pawls and blade guard.
• Make sure the riving knife is properly aligned to the blade see
Riving Knife Alignment section. Refer to FIGURE (11) & (12)
This saw is shipped with its riving knife (E) installed in the lowered or
"non-thru cut" position. This riving knife matches the thickness of the
blade that is shipped with your saw. To install the anti-kickback pawls
and the blade guard assembly, first raise the riving knife from the
lowered or "non-thru cut" position to the raised or "thru cut" position,
as follows:
1. With the blade assembly to the highest possible position,
carefully reach alongside the blade and raise the riving knife
locking lever up to unlock the riving knife.
2. Gently move the riving knife to the right to release it from the
lock pins in the riving knife assembly.
3. Slide the riving knife up and forward until you feel the lock
pins engage the riving knife in the "thru cut" position. When
properly aligned in this position, the "thru cut" position line on
the riving knife will be parallel to and level with the table.
4. Return the riving knife lock lever to the lock position.
5. Make sure the riving knife is securely installed and properly
aligned with the blade.
NOTE: For "non-thru cuts", lower the riving knife to the "non-thru
cut" position using the same procedure. In this case the "non-thru cut"
position line should be parallel to and level with the table.
