3. Remove the screws that secure the guide

5. Measure the distance "B" between the bot-
tom front face of the guide post rack and the
back of the blade (see Figure 99).
—If the measurements taken in Steps 4–5
are equal, no adjustments need to be
made. Go to Step 9.
—If the measurements taken in Steps 4–5
are not equal, go to Step 6.
6. Place the guide post guard on top of the
guide post assembly so you can access the
guide post bracket.
7. Loosen the four screws shown in Figure 98
on the previous page enough to fit metal
shims between the frame and the guide post
bracket (see Figure 100).
—If the guide post to blade distance is greater
at the bottom than at the top, place a shim
between the bottom of the bracket and the
frame (Shim "A"). This will tilt the bottom of
the guide post toward the blade.
—If the guide post to blade distance is less
at the bottom than at the top, place a shim
between the top of the bracket and the
frame (Shim "B"). This will tilt the bottom of
the guide post away from the blade.

tinue adding shims as needed until guide
post rack to blade distance is the same at
the top and bottom.
