Note: The
1
/16" spacing is ideal, although with
larger blades it may not be possible. In such
cases, adjust the guide bearings as far for-
ward as possible to the blade gullets, and still
maintain the proper support bearing spacing
adjustment.

Make sure that the blade teeth will not con-
tact the guide bearings when the blade is
against the rear support bearing during the
