FINE-TUNING STAKES
Fine-tuning requires minor blade adjustments and re-cutting until satisfied
with the final result. Loosen screws one-quarter turn and tap the rear of
the blade with a mallet or block of wood.
The following images are exaggerated examples of cut stake points:
Larger Top: Top noticeably larger than
bottom
Make the top blade gap smaller (reduce
offset) by moving the blade and testing
the cut. Repeat until point is even.
Just Right: Stake point is even
DO NOT MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS
Larger Bottom: Bottom noticeably
larger than top
Make the bottom blade gap smaller
(reduce offset) by moving the blade and
testing the cut. Repeat until point is even.
TIP
Use a scribe or screwdriver to mark the
blade position on the tool so you can repeat
if the blades accidentally get moved.
