11. BLADE GUIDE BEARING ADJUSTMENT
ATTENTION: This is the most important adjustment on your saw. It is impossible to get
satisfactory work from your saw if the blade guides are not properly adjusted. The blade guide
bearings on your metal. Cutting Band Saw are adjusted and power tested with several test cuts
before leaving the factory to insure proper setting The need for adjustment should rarely occur
when the saw is used properly. If the guides do get out of adjustment though, it is extremely
important to readjust immediately. If improper adjustment in maintained, the blade will not cut
straight, and if the situation is not corrected it will cause serious blade damage. Because guide
adjustment is a critical factor in the performance of your saw, it is always best to try a new blade to
see if this will correct poor cutting before beginning to adjust. If a blade becomes dull on one side
sooner than the other, for example, it will begin cutting crooked. A blade change will correct this
problem the gJide adjustment will not. If a new blade does not correct the problem, check the blade
