6. Move the saw head in the cutting direction so the back end of the tool is over the bed rail. Measure
the distance between the tool and the bed rail.
7. This measurement should equal the two earlier measurements. If it is not the same, adjust the blade
guide using the screws shown in the figure above.
8. Move the tool close to the other blade guide and repeat the adjustment procedure described above.
NOTE: If any adjustments to blade guide tilt were made, make sure the blade deflection is correct
(3 mm).
NOTE: After adjusting the blade guides, start the blade drive for a moment. Then stop the blade and
check again if the blade guides are properly positioned.
3.14 Blade Guide Spacing Adjustment
HINT: To adjust the spacing between the roller flange and the blade, loosen one top and one side set
screw only. This will ensure horizontal and vertical adjustments to the blade guide tilt are maintained
when the set screws are retightened.
1. Adjust the blade guide so the blade guide roller flange is approximately 1.5 - 3.0 mm from the back of
the blade.
2. Loosen one side and one top set screw shown. Tap the blade guide forward or backward until
properly positioned.
