Is there available a splitter like part number 350 that is made for narrow kerf saw blades? The saw I have is CX201 and has a splitter on that is not mounted to the guard assembly and works well with wider blades but not narrow kerf blades.

The document does not mention a specific splitter for narrow kerf saw blades for the Craftex CX200. It lists a splitter (part #350) and a riving knife (part #351), but it does not specify if these are compatible with narrow kerf blades.
