Figure 4. Guide post controls.
H. Guide Post Elevation Knob: Adjusts height
of upper blade guides above workpiece.
Clockwise rotation will raise and counter-
clockwise will lower the upper blade guides.
I. Guide Post w/Scale: Holds upper blade
guides and support bearing, and shields
operator from upper portion of blade. Adjusts
up or down as necessary to position upper
blade guides/support bearing as close as
possible to workpiece for maximum cutting
accuracy and minimum blade exposure to
operator. Scale on side of guide post indi-
cates height of upper blade guide above
table.
J. Upper Blade Guides & Support Bearing:
Upper blade guides help keep blade straight,
while the support bearing supports the back
of the blade and prevents it from pushing
too far backward during the cut, which would
allow the blade teeth to make contact with the
blade guides and ruin the "tooth set" of the
blade.
K. Guide Post Lock Knob: Secures guide post
in position after adjustment.
Blade Tension/Tracking & Table Tilt
L. Blade Tension Knob: Increases/decreases
blade tension (refer to Page 26 for more
information).
M. Tracking Control Knob: Adjusts tilt position
of upper wheel to set/control blade tracking
(refer to
Page 23 for more information).
N. Blade Tension Quick-Release Lever:
Quickly releases blade tension to speed up
blade changes and prevent unnecessary
wear on blade and saw components when
not in use. Move UP to release blade tension.
Move DOWN to re-tension blade.
