Use good judgment! IMPORTANT: Whenever the blade guard cannot be used, the riving knife must be installed. Button Figure 68. Button for removing pawls. Riving Knife ▲WARNING To ensure that the riving knife works safely, it MUST be aligned with and correctly adjusted to the blade. Refer to Page 68 to check or adjust the riving knife alignment. The riving knife works in the same manner as the spreader on the blade guard assembly. It is a metal plate that prevents the newly cut workpiece from pinching the backside of the blade and causing kickback. The key difference between the spreader and the riving knife is that the riving knife mounts below the blade's highest point of rotation, as shown in Figure 70. Figure 70. Height difference between riving knife and blade. The height difference between the riving knife and the blade allows the workpiece to pass over the blade during non-through cuts (those in which the blade does not cut all the way through the thickness of the workpiece). The riving knife acts as a barrier behind the blade to reduce the risk of hands being pulled into the blade if kickback occurs. The riving knife must be kept within the range shown in Figure 71. For that reason, a 12" blade is required for operations that use a riving knife. How to Install the Riving Knife The riving knife is installed in a similar manner to the blade guard and spreader. Refer to Blade Guard on Page 35 for installation instructions. When to Use the Riving Knife Use the riving knife for all non-through cuts made with a standard table saw blade (i.e., dadoes or rabbet cuts, and when using a tenoning jig), or when using a 12" diameter dado blade. Also, use the riving knife for those special operations where the blade guard or its components get in the way of safe operation, such as with very narrow cuts. When Not to Use the Riving Knife Do not use the riving knife with a dado blade that has a diameter smaller than 12" in diameter. Otherwise, the riving knife height will exceed the blade height and the workpiece will hit the riving knife during the cut, forcing the operator into a dangerous situation of trying to turn the saw off with the workpiece stuck halfway through the cut. In addition, although it is possible to use the riving knife for through cutting operations, the blade guard assembly offers far more injury protection and risk reduction than the riving knife. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you use the blade guard assembly instead of the riving knife for through cuts. Figure 71. Allowable top and bottom distances between riving knife and blade. -38- G0605X1-6X1, G0696X-97X (Mfg. 6/10+) Cutting a Zero Clearance Insert A zero clearance insert is provided with the table saw to reduce workpiece tear out and increase user safety. The insert can be customized to fit a specific blade height or blade angle for the applicable cutting operation. To install the zero clearance insert: 1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER! 2. Check to make sure the blade is properly installed (refer to the instructions in Blade Installation on Page 34). 3. Install the table insert, as shown in Figure 72. 4. Adjust the table insert set screws with a 2.5mm hex wrench to make sure the insert is flush with the table (use a straightedge as a guide), then turn the lock knob to secure the insert. 5. Center a board at least 2" thick and equal to the length of the table over the rear opening of the insert, then secure it with clamps at both ends, as shown in Figure 73. This will provide extra support for the insert and reduce tear out when cutting. Figure 73. Securing insert with board and clamps. 6. Set the blade angle at 0°. Suggestion: To retain the zero clearance ability of the insert included with this saw, we recommend only raising the blade into the insert at 90° during the following step. —If you need a zero clearance insert for compound cuts, install an optional phenolic zero clearance table insert, Model T21879 (refer to Page 58) for each angled cut, then proceed to Step 7. —If you plan to use a dado blade to cut rabbets or dados, install the optional dado table insert, Model T21878 (see Page 58). —If you do not require your insert to have a zero clearance fit, especially if you need to make a range of compound cuts, you can modify the insert included with this saw. Continue with Step 7, then route the underside of the blade-cut slot to the same width as the rear opening (see Figure 72). 7. Connect the saw to power. Keep hands off of table top, do not stand directly behind the blade path, and wear eye protection. 8. Turn the saw ON, then slowly raise the blade to the maximum height that will be used during normal operations. 9. Turn the saw OFF, lower the blade completely, then remove the board and clamps. 10. Install the blade guard (refer to "Installing Blade Guard & Spreader" on Page 35). G0605X1-6X1, G0696X-97X (Mfg. 6/10+) -39- Ripping "Ripping" means cutting with the grain of a natural wood...
