blaDE GUIDE aDJUsTMEnT
This machine is equipped with hydraulic carbide blade guides. There is
no adjustment for this as the guides are controlled by the blade tension
pressure.

The H-4P leaves the factory with the blade brush adjusted for maximum
life of the brush. This setting places the ends of the blade brush wires
so as to contact the blade at the bottom of the blade gullets. The plastic
drive wheel that is driven by the drive wheel face should be held against
the blade face with the minimum force that is necessary. As the blade
brush wears it is necessary to periodically readjust it. As shown, there are
two springs on socket head screws holding the brush assembly against
the blade. There is also an adjusting socket set screw with a hex nut
on it. Loosen the hex nut with a wrench and turn the set screw counter
clockwise with an Allen key. This will move the brush closer to the blade.
Adjust the set screw so that the brush cleans to the bottom of the blade gullets and tighten the hex nut.

There are two cam followers mounted on the head frame. One of them is fixed and the other is adjustable. Both cam
followers are factory set and usually do not require adjustment. In a properly adjusted set of cam followers only one side
should be in contact with the guide. The gap between the other and the guide bar should not exceed 0.00”. If it exceeds
0.00” you should contact your dealer to arrange for adjustment.

The design of the H-4P was intended to minimize maintenance, although certain moving parts and metal to metal sur-
faces require periodic lubrication. We recommend that lubrication be applied using any general purpose grease to the out
feed table & fence, vise faces and infeed rollers as well as at the points indicated in the following photos on a monthly
basis for a moderately used saw.
