Tips and Tricks

Switching between the riving knife and the blade guard is simple. First, remove the table insert. Next, pull the clamping handle up. This will release the currently installed device so you canremove it. Install the device you need (one device – either the riving knife or the blade guard should always be installed) and push the handle back down to clamp he device you need. Once you have completed the change re-install the table insert.
