Setting the Flat Guides
(continued)
The
right side (moveable) guide
is set in the same manner and sequence as the left guide
except the tilting bolts are on the top of the guide arm.
Note:
This is the most critical part of setting the flat guides.
Begin with the
right side guide
by raising the bottom pad upward to the blade, applying
a light amount of pressure so that the pad is touching the bottom of the blade, then
tighten the two 5/16” nuts located on the back of the guide assembly.
Note:
A temporary adjustment is needed for the next step.
Check the side-to-side positioning to ensure the pad is even and level with the blade.
Next check the front-to-back alignment (tilt) and ensure the pad is even and level with the
blade.
With your finger, tap on the front edge and the back edge of the blade in order to tell
where the biggest gap is. For example, if the pad is farther away in the back of the blade
then you will tilt the front of the pad down to get the pad as flat and square as possible to
the blade.
If required, adjust the two 1/4” bolts that push up and down (tilt) the side-to-side
adjustment assembly.
Raise the bottom
pad upward to the
blade, applying a
light amount of
pressure
