See Figures 14 - 15.
To check alignment of the riving knife:
 Unplug the saw.
 Raise the saw blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting
handwheel clockwise.
 Remove the anti-kickback pawls and blade guard
assembly. Place a framing square or straight edge against
both the saw blade and the riving knife.
NOTE: Place framing square between carbide teeth and
measure from blade. This step will insure framing square
is square against blade from the front to back of blade.
 The saw blade and riving knife are aligned when the
framing square contacts both the blade and riving knife
evenly with no gaps.
If the riving knife is out of alignment with the saw blade,
adjustment is needed. The riving knife must be in alignment
front to back (horizontally) and top to bottom (vertically).
