IMPORTANT! The ceramic inserts should be parallel to the blade.
Check the space between the insert and the blade at each side of the
insert to insure it is parallel. Use the appropriate outer adjustment bolt
to tilt the insert mounting plate so the insert is parallel to the blade.
After adjusting the drive side blade guide block insert up, check the deflector. If necessary, loosen
the two deflector mounting screws and adjust the deflector so it does not touch the blade.
Inspect the blade guide assemblies for proper alignment every time you change the blade. See 8.1
for blade guide adjustment instructions.
WARNING! Blade guide alignment is essential for optimal cutting
performance, blade life and safety. Failure to check and maintain
proper blade guide alignment will result in stress cracks forming in the
blade. These cracks will lead to premature blade breakage. If the
blade breaks during operation and the blade has multiple stress
cracks, the blade could shatter into several pieces and escape from
the protective guards of the sawmill. Small blade pieces projected into
the area around the sawmill creates a safety hazard for the operator
and any bystanders surrounding the mill.
WARNING! DO NOT use blades with stress cracks. Blades with stress
cracks can shatter causing bodily injury and/or machine damage.
Preventing sap buildup on the blade is critical when using the high-performance blade guide system.
If the wood you are sawing leaves sap buildup using plain water in the blade lube system, use
Wood-Mizer lube additive (Part No. 033439).
