3.
Install each blade guide assembly to the mounting blocks and push all the way back.
Install, tension and track a new blade. Adjust the outer blade guide assembly so the roller
flange is 1/8" from the back of the blade. Adjust the inner blade guide assembly so the
roller flange is 1/16" from the blade.
4.
Tighten the two previously-loosened tilt adjustment screws to secure the blade guide
assembly.
5.
Turn the top adjustment bolt clockwise to raise the blade guide assembly so the roller
does not contact the blade.
NOTE:
Before adjusting the top bolt, unload pressure on the bolt by
turning 1/2 turn in the opposite direction it was last adjusted.
6.
With the roller flange positioned properly from the back of the blade, adjust the stop bolt
so it touches the blade guide bracket.
See Figure 7-27.
Blade Guide Arm Alignment
The blade guide arm moves the outer blade guide in and out. If the arm becomes loose,
the blade guide will not deflect the blade properly, causing inaccurate cuts. A loose blade
guide arm can also cause blade vibration.
