TABLE SAW RIVING KNIFE ADJUSTMENT

MODEL: W660

It is possible that the factory setting of the riving knife restricts the maximum cutting

depth of the saw. If this is the case, the riving knife can be adjusted as follows:

1) Ensure that the machine is isolated from the power supply.

2) Raise the blade to its maximum height using the blade height adjustment hand

wheel at the front of the saw.

3) Remove the hose from the crown guard, remove the crown guard from the riving

knife, by loosening the black thumb screw.

4) In order to keep the Crown Guard parallel to the table, once the riving knife has

been adjusted, a slight modification will be needed to the plastic part.

Extend by 7mm
