When adjusting blade guide spacing, loosen the top set screw and one side set screw only. This will
insure horizontal and vertical tilt adjustments are maintained when the set screws are retightened.

back of the blade.
2.
Loosen one side and one top set screw shown. Tap the blade guide forward or backward until properly
positioned.
