Adjustments - KNOVA KN BTS-10W User Manual

ASSEMBLY
8. When the splitter is properly aligned with the saw blade,
tighten the bolt securely.
NOTE: The splitter bracket must always be correctly aligned
so the cut workpiece will pass on either side without binding
or twisting.
CAUTION
See Fig. 9, flat washer (11) must be under knob
(12). NOTE: Be sure knob is securely tightened
and periodically check tightness.
CAUTION
Improper splitter alignment can cause kickback
and serious injury.

ADJUSTMENTS

MITER GAUGE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 12)
1. Loosen the lock handle (1) to allow miter body (2) to rotate
freely (Fig. 12). Position the miter body at 90° so the positive
detent secures its position. Tighten the lock handle to hold the
miter body in position.
2. If the pointer (3) requires adjustment, loosen the two screws
under the pointer with a hex key. Adjust the pointer to 90° on
the scale then firmly tighten both adjusting screws.
3. To change angles on miter gauge, loosen the lock handle
(1) and rotate the miter body to desired angle as indicated by
the scale. Secure in position by tightening the lock handle.

sliding the fence to the desired location. Pushing down on the
handle locks the fence in position.
2. Position the fence on the right side of the table and along
the edge of the miter gauge groove.

4. If adjustment is needed to make the fence parallel to the
groove, do the following:
• Loosen the two screws (3) and lift up on the handle (2).
• Hold the fence bracket (4) firmly against the front of the saw
table. Move the far end of the fence until it is parallel with the
miter gauge groove.
• Push the handle to lock and tighten both screws.
5. If fence is loose when the handle is in the locked (down-
ward) position, do the following:
• Lift the handle (2) and turn the adjusting nut (5) clockwise
until the rear clamp is snug. Do not turn the adjusting screw
more than 1/4 turn at a time.
• Overtightening the adjusting screw will bend the rear clamp-
ing lever and will cause the fence to come out of alignment.

Failure to properly align fence can cause kickback
and serious injury.
