Adjusting Blade Guide Brackets
The blade guides should be set as close to the vise
jaws as possible. The right blade guide bracket, is not
adjustable and is set at the factory to clear the right
hand vise jaw. The left blade guide bracket can be
moved to the left or right depending on the position of
the left hand vise jaw. To move the left blade guide
bracket (A) Fig.7, loosen the hand knob (B), position
blade guide bracket and tighten hand knob (B).
Automatic Shut-Off Adjustment
The motor should shut off immediately after the blade
has cut through the material and just before the head
comes to rest on the horizontal stop bolt. If the
machine continues to run after the workpiece has
been fully cut, locate and adjust the micro switch
mounting plate down. If the machine shuts off before
the workpiece has been completely cut, move the
micro switch mounting plate up.
