BLADE GUARD ADJUSTMENTS
BLADE GUARD CONSISTS OF TWO (2) CARBIDE INSERTS, ITEM 5 FIGURE 14, THROUGH WHICH THE BLADE
PASSES, AND A BACK-UP INSERT LOCATED JUST ABOVE THE BLADE. THE INSERTS SHOULD BE CLEANED DAILY
AND INSPECTED PERIODICALLY FOR WEAR AND PROPER GAP WIDTH. THE INSERTS MAY BE ROTATED UNTIL
ALL FOUR (4) SIDES ARE WORN, AND THEN TURNED OVER FOR AN ADDITONAL FOUR (4) SIDES. THE BACK-UP
INSERT SHOULD BE ROTATED WHEN A GROOVE IS WORN INTO IT OR WEAR IS APPARENT.
GAP ADJUSTMENT:
1.
REMOVE FOUR (4) SCREWS, ITEM 9, FIGURE 14.
2.
CLEAN, LUBRICATE AND ROTATE OR REPLACE INSERTS.
THERE ARE TWO (2) FIBER GUIDES, ITEM 4, LOCATED UNDER INSERTS. THEY HELP KEEP BLADE FROM BEING
PULLED OUT OF GAP. REPLACE GUIDES IF EXCESSIVELY WORN.
WITH SAW IN FREE RUNNING CONDITION, CHECK BLADE'S VERTICAL LOCATION BETWEEN INSERTS.
PROPER LOCATION IS TOP OF BLADE JUST TOUCHING BACK-UP INSERT.
VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT:
1.
LOOSEN TWO (2) SCREWS, ITEM 8.
2.
SLIDE BLADE GUARD UP OR DOWN AS NEEDED.
3.
