Adjusting The Blade Guide Bearings:
NOTE: Blade Guide Bearings (266-10) adjustment is a critical factor in the perfor-
mance of the Bandsaw.
(See figure L.)
It is always best to try a new Saw Blade (251) to see if it will correct poor cutting
before attempting to adjust the Blade Guide Bearings. For example, if a Saw Blade
becomes dull on one side sooner than the other, it will begin cutting crooked. A
Saw Blade replacement will correct this problem, whereas Blade Guide Bearings
adjustment will not.
(See figure L.)
If a new Saw Blade does not correct the problem, check the clearance between the
Saw Blade and Blade Guide Bearings (266-10) to obtain the proper clearance.
NOTE: There should only be minimal clearance between the Saw Blade and Blade
Guide Bearings (266-10). To obtain this clearance adjust as follows:
The Outer Blade Guide Bearings (266-10) are mounted to Guide Pivot Assem-
blies (270S) and can be adjusted.
(See figure L.)
Loosen the Hex Socket Head Screw (269-9) while holding the Guide Pivot As-
sembly (270S) with an Allen wrench (not included).
(See figure L.)
Position the Guide Pivot Assembly (270S) by turning it to the desired position
of clearance. Then, re-tighten the Hex Socket Head Screw (269-9).
(See figure L.)
Adjust the second Blade Guide Bearing (266-10) in the same manner.
