ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAW WITH RIVING
KNIFE
Riving knife function
a ) Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife
to function, the body of the blade must be thinner than the riving knife and
the cutting width of the blade must be wider than the thickness of the
riving knife.
b ) Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual.
Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife
ineffective in preventing kickback.
c ) Always use the riving knife except when plunge cutting. The riving
knife must be replaced after plunge cutting. The riving knife causes interf
erence during plunge cutting and can create kickback.
d ) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the workpiece. The
riving knife is ineffective in preventing kickback during short cuts.
e ) do not operate the saw if the riving knife is bent. Even a light
interference can slow the closing rate of a guard.
