Setting the Flat Guides
(continued)
To adjust the tilt on the
right side guide
you only need to loosen the 5/8” bolt in the
middle of the plate. This will allow the tilting plate to move.
Note:
The 5/16” bolts DO NOT need to be loosened for right side guide tilt adjustment.
Tilt the pad down in the front by
loosening the back 1/4” bolt just a
little then tighten the front bolt the
same amount as you loosen the
back bolt this will ensure the
adjustment bolt have pressure on
both bolts.
As a result of making a tilt
adjustment and checking the blade
to the pad, you may need to make
an up or down and side-to-side
adjustment before achieving the
desired tilt adjustment.
Once the adjustment is complete
make sure there is no up or down
pressure on the blade.
Note:
Double-check the left side of the
blade to the bottom pad on the left
guide to ensure alignment is uniform
across both the left and right bottom
guide pads. If not, an adjustment will
be required.
Once the bottom pads have been adjusted, check
the in/out adjustment on the pad to the front edge of
the blade. Proper spacing should be 1/16” to1/8”
from the gullet of the blade to the front of the pads.
Return the top guide pad to its
proper position by attaching the
L-shaped guide foot and pad,
then tighten the 5/16” nut.
Note:
The pad should just touch the blade without deflecting the blade in any direction when
the proper adjustments are made.
Blade gullet should
be 1/16” to 1/8” in
front of the pad
