rear of the machine. This should remove debris from the inside
of the machine. Never use solvents to clean plastic parts, as
solvents can damage them. Clean only with a soft damp cloth.
RIVING KNIFE
The riving knife is a very important component. The riving
knife prevents the work from chattering and/or binding as it
passes through the blade. Inspect the riving knife at regular
intervals and if it is worn or damaged have it replaced with an
original replacement part, fitted by a competent technician.
Note:
Use only a genuine
Evolution riving knife,
as this is a
dedicated component for this machine. Non genuine parts could
be dangerous. If in any doubt, please contact the helpline.
ADJUSTING THE RIVING KNIFE
The riving knife should be adjusted so that the teeth of the blade
are within 3-5mm of the edge of the riving knife
(Fig. 46)
.
To adjust the riving knife, remove the table insert as shown on
page 21
, raise the blade to its maximum height and loosen the
bolt securing the riving knife
(Fig. 47)
with the spanner supplied.
Adjust the riving knife to the correct distance of 3-5mm, ensuring
the fixing hole for the blade guard is level with the top of the
blade and re-tighten the bolt. Replace the table insert.
PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick
(Fig. 48)
is provided with the machine
and has its own dedicated storage on the RH side front leg of
the machine using a hex socket cap screw
(Q)
and 2 nuts
(R)
.
When not in use store the push stick on the machine
(Fig. 49)
.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged it should be replaced.
If the operator makes their own push stick, we recommend that
it follows the same pattern as that supplied. Replacement push
sticks are available from Evolution Power Tools.
