Locate the switch shroud. Position the shroud over the switch block, such that the knob
shaped cover is hinged at the top See fig 20. Secure using the two small self tapping
screws provided.

Fixing the Riving Knife...

See IPB on Page 42 & 43
Locate the Riving Knife. Remove the 5 No. screws that secure the saw gullet, place carefully
aside. Remove the saw gullet and place it aside. Raise the saw blade up to its highest point.
NOTE: The mounting plate for the riving knife has been factory set to ensure that the riving
knife is aligned with the blade. Do not alter the setting bolts.
Introduce the slot in the riving knife over the two centre line bolts, behind the washers, (no.
16 and 11 in the diagram) and nip the bolts to just hold the riving knife against the mounting
plate. Set the riving knife so that it is close to the blade, (gap about 2-3mm if possible).
Tighten the clamping bolts securely. Replace the saw gullet.
Lower the saw blade, making sure the riving knife does not foul the gullet.
Attaching the Saw Hood Guard and
the Extraction Hose...
Locate the saw hood guard, the extraction hose and the jubilee clips. There are two
fastenings in the guard, a fixed bolt at the rear and a clamping bolt just in front of it.
Introduce the fixed bolt into the 'L' shaped slot in the riving knife and push it down and back
so that the bolt is locked into the slot. Lower the guard so that the clamping bolt fits into the
curved slot in the riving knife. Tighten the clamp to pinch the guard to the riving knife and
hold it in position.
Push the jubilee clips over the ends of the hose, push the hose onto the spigots of the
guard and the main dust extraction moulding and tighten the clips to hold it in place.
