Blade Guide Level
Perform the following adjustments to make sure the blade guide assembly is parallel to
the blade.
1.
Loosen the alignment bar mounting bolt. Use the provided bottom block adjustment tool
to adjust the alignment bar up so the bar is close to, but not touching the bottom of the
blade. Retighten the alignment bar mounting bolt
2.
Check that the gap from the alignment bar to the blade is the same along entire length of
the bar. Shine a flashlight behind the blade guide assembly to help you see the gap
between the bar and the blade.
To adjust, turn the tilt adjustment jam nuts to pivot the block assembly until the alignment
bar is parallel to the blade. Retighten the jam nuts. Repeat for the second blade guide
assembly.
