BLADE GUIDE BEARING ADJUSTMENT
Attention: This is the most important adjustment on your saw. It is impossible to get satisfactory work
from your saw if the blade guides are not properly adjusted.
Note: There should be from 0.000 (just touching) 0.001 clearance between the blade and guide bearing.
To obtain this clearance adjust as follows:
1.
Each of the two guide bearings is mounted to an eccentric bushing that can be adjusted.
2.
Loosen the nut while holding the bolt with an allen key.
3.
Position the eccentric by turning the bolt to the desired position of clearance. (The blade must
be completely vertical while it is cutting).
4.
Tighten the nut, then the adjustable blade guide bearing will be fixed.
5.
Adjust the second blade guide bearing in the same manner.
BLADE TENSION ADJUSTMENT
1.
Make sure the motor is shut off.
2.
Press the blade lightly with left hand, make the rear blade against the flange of the blade wheel
and feel the blade tension (so that the blade does not come off from the wheel).
3.
Adjust the blade tension adjustable knob with the right hand, until the blade obtains the correct
tension.
