Tech Support FAQ

We do not have a large main saw blade on the saw, and the main saw will not start. We still have error E54 on the display.

One possibility is that the main saw riving knife is out of position. When the riving knife is adjusted too far away from the main saw, the machine thinks that a larger blade is installed. Adjust the riving knife position according to Altendorf's instruction manual.
