Model G0700 (Mfd. Since 5/14)
-35-
The scoring blade included with the Model G0700
has wedge shaped teeth. With this style of scoring
blade, the kerf thickness is adjusted by changing
the height of the scoring blade. Raising the scor-
ing blade higher increases the kerf thickness.

3. Place a straightedge across the body of the
main blade (not the teeth) and align the body
of the scoring blade to the main blade, by
turning the alignment control (
Figure 46) with
a 6mm hex wrench.
4. Adjust the height of the scoring blade, by
turning the height control ( Figure 46) with a
6mm hex wrench, until the exposed portion
equals the kerf thickness of the main blade.
Note: The easiest way to match the scor-
ing blade kerf is by laying a straightedge on
the table, and placing it up against the main
blade teeth and beyond the scoring blade,
then adjusting the scoring blade height until
its teeth align with the main blade teeth. Also
check on the other side of the blades to verify
that the kerf thickness matches and the scor-
ing blade is aligned with the main blade.
5. Tighten the controls lock.
6. Move the blade cover back into its original
position next to the blades, then center the
sliding table.
7. Perform a test cut and check for chip out on
the underside of the test piece. If there is
chip out, make the adjustments necessary to
match the kerfs.
5. Install the new scoring blade as shown in
Figure 45, tighten the arbor nut, and adjust
the scoring blade alignment and height as
necessary.
