6.5 Blade Guide Arm Alignment
Before aligning the blade guide arm, track the blade on the blade wheels as described in Section 3.4.
Move the cutting head so the blade is positioned over the first bed rail. Level the blade to the bed rail
as shown in Section 3.1
. Adjust the blade guide rollers so they do not touch the blade.
Vertical Alignment
1. Adjust the blade guide arm all the way out away from the other blade guide (maximum distance
between the guide rollers).
See Figure 6-9.
2. Use the arm adjustment screws, marked with blue arrows in the figure above, to adjust the arm up
until the slide pad touches the saw head brace tube. Tighten the jam nuts.
3. Adjust the blade guide arm in all the way toward the other blade guide (minimum distance between
the guide rollers).
4. Use the arm adjustment screws, marked with red arrows in the figure above, to adjust the arm up
until the slide pad touches the saw head brace tube. Tighten the jam nuts.
NOTE: When adjusting the blade guide arm screws, be careful not to damage their threads or
deform the arm guide bushing. Operate the blade guide arm handle to ensure the arm moves easily
left and right when the handle is moved.
