Blade Deflection
Perform the following steps to achieve proper blade deflection with the blade guides.
1.
Raise the saw head until the blade is 200 mm (7 7/8”) above the feed track. Measure the
actual distance with a tape from the top of the track to the bottom of the blade.
2.
Install the blade guides. Make sure the two set screws shown are threaded into the blade
guide shaft until they touch each other.
See Figure 5-13.
3.
Loosen the bottom jam nut and tighten the top jam nut until the blade guide deflects the
blade down 6
.
0 mm (15/64").
4.
Repeat for the other blade guide.
NOTE:
Be sure that the blade guide touches the blade in both guide assemblies.
The outer blade guide should be checked with the arm all the way in and all the way out.
