b) Adjust the riving knife as described in
this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing,
positioning and alignment can make the riving
knife ineffective in preventing kickback.
c) For the riving knife to work, it must be
engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is
ineffective in preventing kickback during short
cuts.
d) Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent.
Even a light interference can slow the closing
rate of a guard.
