To change the position of the riving knife, remove the
throat plate then raise the blade assembly to the highest
position by turning the height adjustment wheel clockwise
on the front of the saw.
To adjust the riving knife from one position to the other
(through cut/non-through cut) raise the riving knife lock
lever to the up position to unlock the riving knife (Fig. 36).
Next, gently move the riving knife to the right to disengage
from the lock pins in the riving knife lock assembly, then
slide up and forward for through cut or down and back
for non-through cut until you feel the lock pins engage the
riving knife (Fig. 36). Riving knife is marked with through
cut and non-through cut position that align with the table
surface when in the correct position. Push the riving knife
lock lever down to lock the riving knife in place as shown
