For both European and non-European type blade guards
The riving knife installing location is factory-adjusted so that the blade and riv-
006223
ing knife will be in a straight line. However, if they are not in a straight line,
loosen the hex bolts (B) and adjust the blade guard mounting portion (stay) so

that the riving knife is aligned directly behind the blade. Then tighten the hex
bolts (B) to secure the stay.
CAUTION:
• If the blade and riving knife are not aligned properly, a dangerous
pinching condition may result during operation. Make sure they are
properly aligned. You could suffer serious personal injury while using the
tool without a properly aligned riving knife.
• NEVER make any adjustments while tool is running. Disconnect the tool
before making any adjustments.
There must be a clearance of about 4 - 5 mm between the riving knife and the
006209
blade teeth. Adjust the riving knife accordingly and tighten the hex bolts (A)
securely. Attach the table insert on the table, then check to see that the blade

guard works smoothly before cutting.
