The latter.
They remain a small fixed distance from the blade at any height or angle.
On a cut with the splitter, the lower the blade, the greater the
opportunity for kickback.

You understand the differences. A moving riving knife is more complicated
than a fixed splitter. I wish we had 'em here. As I understand it, OSHA is
all hung up on anti-kickback pawls. I have yet to see a riving knife set up
with anti kickback pawls, too. Oh, I take that back. I think the Ryobi
BT3100 has it. Anyway, I understand the anti-kickback pawls are not
required in Europe, but the Riving knife is.
I think the Europeans got it right.

No it doesn't!

Must be on a newer model. The PM66 on display at my dealer's does not have
a riving knife.
