Aligning The Riving Knife - Metabo TKHS 315 C Original Operating Instructions

A
Danger!
Use only saw blades meeting the re-
quirements of EN 847-1 (see "Tech-
nical Specifications") – if unsuitable
or damaged saw blades parts are
used, parts can be ejected due to
centrifugal force in an explosive-
type manner.
Do not use:
– saw blades with maximum speed
ratings lower than the saw spin-
dle speed (see 'Technical Data');
– saw blades made of high-
strength steel (HSS or HS);
– saw blades with visible damage
or deformations;
– cut-off wheel blades.
Danger!
– Only install saw blade with genu-
ine parts.
– Do not use loose-fitting reducing
rings; the saw blade could work
loose.
– Saw blades have to be installed
in such way that they do not wob-
ble or run out of balance and can-
not work loose during operation.
8. Put on outer blade collar (120) (the
inner blade collar's (121) lug must
engage in the groove of the outer
blade collar).
9. Turn arbor bolt (119) into saw spin-
dle (left-handed thread!) and tight-
en. Hold outer blade collar (120)
with ring spanner to counter.
Danger!
– Do not extend the tool for tight-
ening the arbor bolt.
– Do not tighten the arbor bolt by
hitting the wrench.
– After the arbor bolt has been
tightened, remove all tools used
during saw blade installation!
10. Put table insert extrusion (118) in
flush with the saw table and secure
with fixing screws.
11. Install blade guard on the riving
knife.
Note:
The blade guard is tilted slightly down-
ward on the operator side after installa-
tion on the riving knife.

10.2 Aligning the riving knife

Note:
The riving knife has already been
aligned to the saw blade in the factory.
However, it is still necessary to check
the distance from the riving knife to the
saw blade and if necessary align the
knife at regular intervals.
To align the riving knife:
1. Raise saw blade fully.
2. Remove blade guard (122).
3. Remove fixing screws of the table
insert extrusion (123) and remove it.
Distance to the saw blade:
– The distance between the saw
blade's outer edge and the riving
knife shall be between 3 and 8 mm.
– The riving knife must project over
the saw table at least as far as the
saw blade does.
126
1. Loosen the Keps nut (125) holding
the riving knife by one turn.
2. Adjust the distance from the riving
knife to the saw blade.
3. Line the riving knife up with the saw
blade. To do this align the riving
knife marking (124) with the upper
edge of the riving knife holder (126).
4. Tighten the Keps nut.
Lateral alignment:
Riving knife and saw blade must be
perfectly in line. The lateral alignment
of the riving knife is preset by the ma-
nufacturer.
In case a fine setting should become
necessary:
1. Loosen all three screws (127) of the
riving knife carrier.
122
2. Adjust the riving knife
3. Tighten all three screws (127) of the
riving knife carrier again.
After alignment:
123
1. Put table insert extrusion (123) in
flush with the saw table and secure
with fixing screws.
2. Install blade guard on the riving knife.
Note:
The blade guard is tilted slightly down-
ward on the operator side after installa-
tion on the riving knife.
