Loosen the bottom jam nut and tighten the top jam nut until the blade guide deflects the
blade down until the bottom of the blade measures 14 3/4" (370 mm) from the bed rail.
3. Repeat for the other blade guide.
NOTE: Be sure that the blade guide deflector rod clears the blade on
both guide assemblies. The rod on the outer guide assembly should be
checked with the arm all the way in and all the way out.
Blade Guide Vertical Tilt Alignment
The blade guides should be adjusted properly in the vertical plane. If the blade guides are
tilted vertically, the blade will try to travel in the tilted direction.
A Blade Guide Alignment Tool (BGAT) is provided to help you measure the vertical tilt of
the blade.
1. Open the adjustable blade guide arm 1/2" (13 mm) from full open.
2. Clip the alignment tool on the blade. Position the tool close to the outer blade guide
assembly. Be sure the tool does not rest on a tooth or burr, and is lying flat against the
bottom of the blade.
