My saw has the riving knife and the blade cover as one unit which bolts onto the back just above the motor.
30 second job to loosen and take off.

That's good.
Commander wrote:The saw does have a blade cover that bolts to the back as Phil said, it still needs to be cleaned, but in my (albeit limited) experience it is more of a hindrance than a help. I will however do some experimentation with it once it is cleaned up to see if I can get it to work properly. I do have a very healthy respect for the saw (as well as all my other tools) as I know how quickly things can go wrong in the workshop.

Andy, I decided to make an "all in one" tread for all my projects, but perhaps that is not such a great idea, does anyone else have a comment on this? I could always start new threads for my new projects going forward...

You make a good point Phil, the ruler method should be more accurate. I also had a closer look at my fence and it doesn't seem all that useful or user-friendly, it is basically an aluminium extrusion with 2 separate knobs for clamping onto the 2 rails, so it will turn into a bit of a to-do to move it around. At this point I'm seriously considering just making my own.
