4. Slide prongs of riving knife (M) into slot on
clamping base, and push riving knife down as
far as it will go.
5. Push clamp lever (S
6. Riving knife must be parallel to saw blade. See
sect. 8.7 for inspection and adjustments.
NOTE: A low-profile riving knife is also provided,
for making non-through cuts on the table saw.
6.10.2 Anti-Kickback Pawls
See Figure 6-10.
1. Install insert plate into table.
2. Position anti-kickback pawl assembly (N,
Figure 6-10) so that angled side of pawl block
faces toward front of saw, as shown.
3. Lower pawl assembly onto center notch of
riving knife, with pawls straddling knife. Push
and hold button on pawl block (N
10), and push pawl block down until it securely
engages in notch.
4. Allow pawls to drop freely to table.
6.10.3 Blade Guard
See Figure 6-10.
1. Push and hold button (K
guard.
2. Push guard (K) down at an angle, as shown,
until pin engages rear slot in riving knife, and
release button.
3. Push down front of guard until it seats
properly, and is parallel to table top. The
transparent guard leaves (K
freely to the table.
NOTE: The transparent leaves can be kept in
raised position by swinging them up and forward.
Guard, riving knife, and pawl
assemblies must be securely installed, and
leaves must be in contact with table, before
beginning any through-cutting operation.
The riving knife clamping base is adjusted by the
manufacturer and no further adjustment of blade
guard and riving knife assembly should be
necessary. However, proper alignment is very
important. Before operating table saw, read sect.
8.7, Riving knife alignment, to verify and follow
adjustment procedure if necessary.
6.11 Dust Port
Use of a dust collection system (not provided) is
strongly recommended during table saw operation.
It will help keep the shop clean, as well as prevent
potential health issues due to dust inhalation.

Make sure internal hose is pushed into external
dust port (Figure 6-11). Attach hose from your dust
collection system to the 4-inch dust port at base of
saw, and secure with wire hose clamp (not
provided).
7.0 Electrical Connections
Electrical connections must be
made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This machine must be
properly grounded to help prevent electrical
shock and possible fatal injury.
A power plug is not provided with this table saw.
You may either connect the proper UL/CSA listed
plug or "hardwire" the machine directly to your
electrical panel provided there is a disconnect near
the machine for the operator. Consult electrical
drawings in sect. 15.0 for further clarification of
wiring setup.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in off position.
It is recommended that the table saw be connected
to a dedicated 30 amp circuit with breaker or fuse.
If connected to a circuit protected by fuse, use time
delay fuse marked "D". Local codes take
precedence over recommendations.
7.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped
with
an
equipment-grounding conductor. A plug is not
provided. A proper UL/CSA listed plug may be
installed or the machine may be "hard-wired" to a
circuit panel. If hard-wired, make sure a disconnect
is available to the operator.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
