 BLADE BEARING GUIDE 

   ADJUSTMENT

1. 

The bearing guide systems found on this 
machine are fully adjustable. Working 
from the side, release the depth lock 
knob and rotate the threaded adjuster, 
until the bearing sits approx. 2mm behind 
the set of the teeth on the blade. Fig. I1

2. 

Release the thrust bearing lock on 
the back side of the guide and set the 
Thrust Bearing so it sits just behind (no 
more than 1mm) the back of the blade. 

3. 

The dual bearings’ sideways adjustment 
is via an off-centre cam. Release the 
allen head locking bolt then ‘swing’ 
the bearings in or out by rotating from 
the front. Bring each side in until it just 
barely misses the blade, like a piece of 
paper thickness away. Fig. I2

4. 

The lower bearing guides are less 
accessible, but need to be set as per 
the top guides. There are lock knobs 
and adjustments for the thrust bearing 
behind the blade; the side bearings 
depth setting; and the side bearings 
pivot adjustment. Hint: Opening the 
lower door and removing the table insert 
will provide more visibility when setting 
the lower blade guides. Try your mobile 
phone’s torch ability placed on the 
table and illuminating through the insert 
hole. Once set, ensure you retighten 
everything. If done correctly, you should 
not need to adjust this unless you 
change blades. Fig. I3
