7.

Measure the distance from the bed rail to the bottom of the blade near the inside blade guide.

8.

Measure the distance from the bed rail to the bottom of the blade near the outside blade guide.

See Figure 3-2. 

When the blade is parallel to the bed, it will measure the same distance from the

bed rail at the inside and outside of the saw head. To adjust the saw head tilt, loosen the four
mounting bolts of the idle side roller bracket, the two scraper mounting bolts and the two mounting
bolts of the mast retaining bracket. Use the saw head adjustment nuts to move the outside of the
saw head up or down.
