5.4 BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
The blade guide systems minimize any blade movement during the cutting cycle. The bearings of the upper blade
guide
(A) and the lower blade guide system (B) must be at a distance of 0,5 mm. according to the blade edge.
Position the back bearing of the blade guide at approximately 2-3 mm. behind the blade. This must touch the blade
only during the cutting cycle.
N.B. If you use narrow blades (ex. 6 mm.) the back bearing of the lower blade guide system must be in contact with
the blade, while if you use wider blades you must move the whole group back as indicated in these instructions.
