READ FIRST

Do not remove the factory-installed short rail
section from the linear rail.

This rail section must be used to install the
knifeholder onto the guide bar rail.

Failure to use this rail section when installing the
knifeholder may result in bearing damage and
void bearing warranty .

Mounted linear bearing is factory preset to be
loose in the knifeholder back plate.
Do not attempt to tighten or adjust . The
movement of the bearing allows the knifeholder
to float freely when traversing. When the
knifeholder is locked to the guidebar the bearing
movement will cease.
