BLADE GUIDE BEARING ADJUSTMENT
The blade guide bearings need to be readjusted after every blade
change or blade tracking adjustment.
1. Upper Thrust Bearing:
1. Loosen the assembly lock lever (Fig. 15 - 1) and ensure that the
blade guide assembly is perpendicular to the blade. Retighten the as-
sembly lock lever.
2. Loosen the thumbscrew to the left of the thrust bearing (Fig. 15 -
2) and use the knurled knob (Fig. 15 - 3) to adjust the position of the
thrust bearing (Fig. 15 - 2) running along the back of the blade. The
bearing should be positioned 0.5 mm from the back of the blade (Fig.
B). Retighten the thumbscrew.
2. Upper Side Bearings:
1. Loosen the thumb screw to the right of the side bearings. Use the
knurled knob (Fig. 16 - 1) to adjust the side bearings laterally so that
the bearing faces are just behind the teeth of the blade (Fig. B). Re-
tighten the thumbscrew.
2. Use the included hex wrench to loosen the guide bearing lock screw
(Fig. 16 - 3), then use it to rotate the adjustment cap screws (Fig. 16
- 2). The side bearings should be positioned 0.25 mm away from the
blade (Fig. C). Retighten the lock screw.
LOWER BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
The lower blade guide bearings also need to be readjusted after every
blade change or blade tracking adjustment. The lower blade guide
bearing assembly is located below the table. The adjustments are the
same as the upper blade guide bearings.
TIP:
Remove the table insert for better visibility when adjusting the
lower blade guide bearings.
BLADE GUARD ADJUSTMENT
The height of the upper blade guard should be adjusted prior to every
operation to accommodate the height of the workpiece.
NOTE:
The bottom of the blade guard should be no more than 1/8 inch
above the upper face of the workpiece.
1. Loosen the guide post lock knob (Fig. 17 - 1) to adjust the entire
assembly up or down. Make sure that the lock knob is tight before
beginning operation.
