14.2. Blade guide adjustment
The blade guide thrust wheel must never be adjusted in contact with the back of the blade, but at a distance of 3÷4 mm.
If the blade is sharp and the feed force regular, it must not trip.
On the contrary, the side wheels must skim over the blade, though without locking it, since they have the specific task
of eliminating its vibrations, due to sawing.
The wooden buffers of the bottom blade guide have to be adjusted using the same criteria.
14.3. Table block insert
The table block insert has the important function of preventing the blade coming into contact with the table block during
sawing. Moreover has a series of holes aiding sawdust extraction.
When, as a consequence of being used, the passage slot gets widened or chipped, it has to be replaced.
14.4. Extraction boards
The two boards S and T (fig. 14-4) have the function
of improving sawdust extraction.
As for the table block insert, they must be replaced
when the slot for the blade is damaged.
To make this slot on a new board, insert it into its
seat with the blade fitted and, moving the flywheels
manually, make a small cut on its head where the
blade passes.
Then, after closing the door and putting the machine
back in running order, complete the cut on the table
normally down to the necessary depth.
14.5. Cutting with guide
The guide P (fig. 14-5) needs to be used when you
want to obtain parallel cuts or identical pieces. In
addition, it is to be used to cut thick pieces for
which there is the danger of tilting over sideways.
