See Figure 2-12. Position 1 1/4” wide blades so the gullet is 3.0 mm (0.12”) out from the edge of the
blade wheel (± 1.0 mm [0.04”]). Position 1 1/2” blades so the gullet is 4.5 mm (0.18”) out from the
edge of the blade wheel (± 1.0 mm [0.04”]).
5. To adjust where the blade travels on the blade wheels, use the cant control shown in Figure 2-11.
If the blade is too far out, back the blade onto the wheel by turning the cant control counterclockwise. If the
blade is too far in, turn the cant control clockwise until the gullet of the blade is the correct distance from the
front edge of the wheel.
6. Retension the blade to the recommended tension to compensate for any adjustments you have made in the
cant control.
7. Replace the blade housing covers.
