A Blade Guide Alignment Tool (BGAT) is provided to help you measure the vertical tilt of the blade.
OUTER BLADE GUIDE
1. Open the adjustable blade guide arm 1/2" (13 mm) from fully
open.
2. Clip the alignment tool on the blade.
3. Position the tool close to the outer blade guide assembly.
NOTE: Be sure the tool does not rest
on a tooth or burr, and is lying flat
against the bottom of the blade.
4. Move the carriage so that the front end of the tool is positioned above the bed rail.
5. Measure the distance from the bed rail to the bottom edge of the tool.
6. Move the carriage so that the back end of the tool is positioned above the bed rail.
7. Measure the distance from the bed rail to the bottom edge of the tool.
If the measurement from the tool to the
bed rail is not equal within 1/32" (.75 mm),
adjust the vertical tilt of the outer blade
guide roller.
8. Loosen one set screw at the side of
the blade guide assembly.
9. Loosen the jam nuts on the top and
bottom vertical tilt adjustment screws.
a. To tilt the roller up, loosen
the bottom screw and
tighten top screw.
b. To tilt the roller down,
loosen the top screw and
tighten the bottom screw.
10. Tighten the jam nuts and recheck the tilt of the blade.
INNER BLADE GUIDE
11. Move the blade guide alignment tool close to the inner blade guide roller assembly and repeat the above steps.
Adjust the vertical tilt of the inner blade guide, if necessary.
Blade Guide Horizontal Tilt Adjustment
If the blade guides are tilted in the wrong
direction horizontally, the back of the
blade may contact the flange as the roller
is spinning down, causing it to push the
blade away from the guide roller.
1. Remove the blade guide alignment
tool from the blade and adjust the
blade guide arm halfway in.
2. Remove the clip from the blade guide
alignment tool and place the tool
against the face of the outer blade
guide roller. See FIG. 4-6.
