BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
At the bottom of the guide arms are the carbide blade guide assemblies, the photo shows the carbide-
locking handle. These assemblies will need to be adjusted occasionally as the carbide pads become
worn. To adjust properly, follow this simple procedure. Loosen the hex nut on the locking handle with
a 9/16 wrench and turn the handle clockwise until it rests against the coolant tap on the idler guide
arm or the roll pin on the drive guide arm. Turn the setscrew clockwise with a 3/16 Allen key until
tight and then loosen 1/8 turn and tighten the hex nut. This should put just enough pressure
on the blade to permit you to push the blade down approximately 1/8”.
