4. Loosen the lateral adjustment rod bolt, loos-
en the support bearing adjustment shaft bolt,
and adjust the blade guides until the edges of
the bearings are
1 /
16
" behind the blade gullets,
as illustrated in
Figure 46.
Note: The
1
/
16
" spacing is ideal, although with
larger blades it may not be possible. In such
cases, adjust the guide bearings as far for-
ward to the blade gullets as possible, and still
maintain the proper support bearing spacing
adjustment.

5. Tighten the lateral adjustment rod bolt.
6. Loosen the bearing rotation bolts on both
sides of the blade.
7. Rotate the knurled knobs to position the bear-
ings 0.004" away from the blade.
Note: 0.004" is approximately the thickness
of a dollar bill.
8. Tighten both of the the bearing rotation
adjustment bolts to lock the blade guide bear-
ings in position.
Whenever changing a blade or adjusting
tension and tracking, the upper and lower
blade support bearings and guide bear-
ings must be properly adjusted and locked
before cutting operations.
Make sure that the blade teeth will not con-
tact the guide bearings when the blade is
against the rear support bearing during the
cut or the blade teeth will be ruined.
