6.7 Blade Deflection
Perform the following steps to achieve proper blade deflection with the blade guides:
1. Raise the carriage until the blade is 15" (375 mm) above a bed rail. Measure the actual
distance with a tape from the top of the rail to the bottom of the blade.
See Figure 6-11.
2. Loosen the bottom jam nut and tighten the top jam nut until the blade guide deflects the
blade down 1/4" (6 mm).
3. Repeat for the other blade guide.
NOTE: Be sure that the blade guard clears the blade on both guide assemblies. The
guard on the outer guide assembly should be checked with the arm all the way in and all
the way out.
