ADJUSTING THE BLADE GUIDE BEARINGS
WARNING:
Saw blades are sharp. Wear
work gloves when handling saw blades to
prevent injuries.
1. Raise the saw arm to the raised position and lock it in
place by turning OFF the hydraulic valve.
2. Adjust the position of the two side bearings by turn-
ing the hex nuts (Fig. 19 - 1) so that the bearings are as
close to the blade as possible without actually touching it
(approximately 0.25 mm from the blade). You can use
a folded piece of paper to guide the distance. The blade
should move up and down freely when grasped by the
hand and not interfere with the roller bearings.
PREPARATION & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
To prevent injury from accidental operation, switch OFF and unplugged the tool before
making any adjustments.
SETTING THE WORK STOP
Set the work stop (Fig. 21 - 1) to the desired distance
and tighten the set screw. The work stop enables you to
accurately cut multiple pieces to the same length.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE TENSION
Correct blade tension is important for proper opera-
tion of the saw. The blade should be properly tensioned
during production. Check your blade tension using the
blade tension gauge (Fig. 20 A) on the front of the saw.
The blade tension is correct if the arrow points to the
center green box of the gauge (Fig. 20 A - 1). If the arrow
points to the left red box, that means the blade tension
is too high; pointing to the right yellow box means the
blade tension is too low.
To add tension, turn the blade tension knob on the left
side of the saw (Fig. 20 B - 1) clockwise; to reduce ten-
sion, turn the knob counterclockwise. Adjust until the ar-
row points to the center green box on the tension gauge.
CAUTION:
Do not over tighten the blade. Overtight-
ening will cause the blade to stretch and warp.
