RIVING KNIFE POSITION AND ALIGNMENT

RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT

Parallel Alignment
The plane of the riving knife is parallel to the plane of the blade but the riving knife and the blade are not in line with each other.
If a parallel adjustment is required use Figure 55 and Figure 56 to make the following adjustments:
1.
Loosen the two hex socket head screws (AA).
2.
Tighten or loosen the adjustment screw (BB1) to adjust the datum line of the riving knife to be aligned with the blade.
3.
Adjust set screw (BB2) and (BB3), to assist with the alignment of the riving knife to be parallel to the blade.
4.
Tighten hex socket head screws (AA).
HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT
The plane of the riving knife appears to be twisted in comparison to the plane of the blade. (Can be seen looking straight down on
the blade and riving knife.)
If the riving knife has horizontal misalignment, adjust as follows using Figure 55 and Figure 57.
1.
Loosen the two hex socket head screws (AA).
2.
Adjust screw (BB2) to align the riving knife to the blade, if still out of alignment then adjust (BB3) until proper alignment is
achieved. Do not adjust (BB1).
3.
Tighten screws (AA).
