POSITIONING THE UPPER/LOWER BLADE GUIDES
The blade guides keep the blade from moving from side to side during cutting and must be snug but not touching the
blade in order to ensure accurate cuts. The space between each bearing and the blade must not exceed 0.02" (the
thickness of a sheet of paper ). If less space is left, the blade will get stuck or jammed between both bearings. Too much
friction will cause blade to overheat and break.
Adjust the positionning of the blade guides as follows:
1. Loosen the two bolts with a 12 mm open end
wrench.
2. Use a flat head screwdriver to make a quarter of a
turn toward the outside to both guide bearings ,
so as to obtain maximum blade clearance.
1.
Loosen the bolt
.
2
. Move the assembly bracket forward along the
shaft , until the blade guide bearings are at least
1
/32" behind the blade teeth , (do not protrude
past the hollowed part of the teeth of the blade.
3.
Tighten the bolt to lock the assembly in place.
1/32"
3. Loosen the two bolts on the blade guides/support
bearing assembly mounting bracket.
4. Move the bracket left or right along the bolts , until
the blade is centered between both guide bearings.
POSITIONING THE UPPER/LOWER BLADE GUIDES AND SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLIES
The upper/lower blade guides and support bearing are both assembled as one unit which can be moved back or
forward. To prevent damage to the blade, the blade guide bearings must remain behind the blade teeth during
operation.
