1. Remove the cap screw and remove the carbide
guide. Discard the carbide guide.
2. Install the replacement carbide guide on the guide
bearing support. Install the cap screw. Set the
guide so it just contacts the side of the saw blade.
3. Using a machinist's square, check squareness of
the blade to the table.
Replacement of Guide
Bearings
(see figure 20)
1. Remove the cap screw from the bearing being
replaced. Separate the bushing and cap screw
from the bearing. Discard the bearing.
NOTE:
There is a light press fit between the bearing
and the bushing.
2. Install bushing in replacement bearing. Install cap
screw through bushing and into guide support.
3. If the bearing being replaced is on an eccentric
bushing, install the bearing on the operator side of
the blade.
4. Turn the eccentric bushing in the guide support
until the bearing contacts the blade.
Replacement of Blade Edge
Bearings
1. Remove the capscrew from the blade edge bearing
being replaced and discard the bearing. Be
careful not to lose the spring washer that sepa-
rates the bearing from the floating block (see figure
21).
2. Insert the capscrew into the new bearing. Replace
the spring washer onto the capscrew and re-install
into the floating block.
3. If re-adjustment is necessary, loosen the pivot
capscrew and move the floating block so that the
blade edge is close to the guide support, but
cannot touch the bottom surface of it when the
sawblade is cutting a workpiece.

Machine Setup
The saw delivered to you has been adjusted at the
factory. A number of test pieces have been cut using
the saw to verify the accuracy of cutting. Therefore,
the only setup operations required before releasing
the saw for service are spotting the saw and estab-
lishing the electrical connections to the motor.
Uncrating and Spotting
Spot the saw where it makes the most sense for the
operations you will probably be doing. If you are
going to be doing cut-off work on very long pieces of
stock, allow plenty of room for the stock, and the
infeed and outfeed supports. Remove the saw from
the shipping skid and discard any hold-down devices
that were used to secure the saw to the skid.
