5.11 Horizontal Tilt Adjustment
1.
Finally, both blade guides must be tilted horizontally. Adjust the blade guide arm halfway in.
See Figure 5-21.
2.
Place the Blade Guide Alignment Tool against the face of the outer blade guide roller.
3.
Center the tool on the roller and measure between the back edge of the blade and the ruler at the
end closest to the inner blade guide ("B").
4.
Measure between the back edge of the blade and the other end of the ruler ("A").
5.
The roller should be tilted slightly to the left (A=B-1.4" [6 mm]).
6.
Use the side set screws to adjust the horizontal tilt of the roller.
7.
Repeat steps 3-7 for the inner blade guide roller.
NOTE:
Once the blade guides have been adjusted, any cutting variances are most likely caused by
the blade.
See the Blade Handbook, Form #600.
