See Figure 7-19. The horizontal tilt of the blade wheel should be adjusted so that the gullet of a
1-1/4" blade is 1/8" (3 mm) out from the front edge of the wheel (±1/26 [1mm]).The gullet of a 1-1/2"
blade should be 3/16" (4.5 mm) out from the front edge of the wheel (±1/26 [1 mm]). Do not let the
teeth ride on the wheels.
