blade.

15- Turn the bolts clockwise to tighten the carbide pressure pads against the blade. Tighten
the carbide guides by hand only.
Note: Do not over-tighten the carbide pressure guides.

blade without extending beyond. Then lock the chip brush in place.
Important: Improper positioning of the chip brush will result in excessive blade or chip brush
wear.

this process.
