LOWER BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: The lower blade guide must be adjusted after every blade change and tracking adjustment.
1. Loosen socket bolt (lower left corner of inset) in
order to move the entire lower guide to within 1/10
of one inch (1-2mm) from the bottom of the blade.
Retighten the socket bolt. (Fig. P)
2. Loosen the upper bolt (shown behind the blade)
and move the trust bearing to within 1/20 of an inch
(.5mm) of the back of the blade before retightening.
3. Loosen the bolt on the guide bearings (middle
right) and move the guide bearings to within 1/20 of
one inch of the blade (.5mm) before retightening.
UPPER BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
The height of the upper blade guard should be adjusted prior to every op-
eration to accomodate the height of the workpiece (the blade guard should
be no more than one-fifth of an inch (3mm) from the upper edge of the
workpiece).
1. Use the adjustment knob (Fig. M1) to adjust the height of the upper
blade guide. Use the outer locking knob to secure the guard in place when
it has reached the desired height.
2. Loosen the knobs on the side of the blade guard (Fig. M2 and M3) and
adjust both the thrust and guide bearings so that they are positioned ap-
proximately 1/10 of one inch (2mm) or less (.5mm for the guide bearing)
away from the blade. The inside knob (Fig. M3) adjusts the thrust bearing,
holding the back of the blade in place. The outside knob (Fig. M2) adjusts
the guide bearings, moving the blade left and right.
3. Once desired adjustments have been achieved (Fig. N, Fig. O), tighten
the knobs to secure the bearing guides in place.
