First, semi- tighten the lower blade securing bolt, then
insert the thickness gauge for the desired clearance.
The cutting thickness is indicated on the thickness
gauge so the combinations shown in the table below
should be used. Work the lower blade positioning bolt
on the yoke until the clearance is such that the thick-
ness gauge moves only with some difculty. Then rmly
tighten the lower blade securing bolt. Finally, tighten the
hex nut to secure the lower blade positioning bolt.
