UPPER BLADE GUIDE
To avoid injury, make sure that the switch is in the “OFF” position and that the power cord is unplugged.
1.
Loosen the set screws
and move the roller bearing
as close to the blade
as possible without pinching it.
2.
Using a feeler gauge, make sure the space between
each bearing and the blade measures 0.02” (the thick-
ness of a dollar bill).
3.
Re-tighten the set screws and loosen the side thumb
screw
by turning counter-clockwise.
4.
Move the blade guide bracket shaft
in or out until the
roller bearings
are at least 1/32” behind the blade
teeth.
5.
The roller bearing
must remain behind the blade
teeth during operation to prevent damage to the
blade. Tighten the thumb screw
.
Note: Make sure the blade is tensioned and tracking properly. Adjust the blade guide and support bearings after each
blade tension and tracking adjustment. Whenever the upper blade guide and support bearings are adjusted, the lower
guide and support bearings should also be adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE BLADE GUARD FOR DEPTH OF CUT
1.
Loosen the lock knob
and manually move the blade
guard assembly
up or down to set the guard to
1/8” - 1/4” above the workpiece.
2.
Re-tighten the lock knob, before turning on the saw.
3.
Adjust the height of the blade guard to suit the thick-
ness of the workpiece
.
POSITIONING THE UPPER SUPPORT BEARING
Note: The blade support bearing
prevents the blade
from moving back too far and damaging the saw teeth
setting.
1.
To re-position the support bearing, loosen the thumb
screw .
2.
Move the support bearing shaft
in or out, until the
bearing
is 1/64” behind the blade.
3.
Tighten the thumb screw
