—If the guide post-to-blade distance is great-
er at the bottom than at the top, place a
shim between the bottom of the bracket
and the frame (Shim "A"). This will tilt the
bottom of the guide post toward the blade.
—If the guide post-to-blade distance is less
at the bottom than at the top, place a shim
between the top of the bracket and the
frame (Shim "B"). This will tilt the bottom of
the guide post away from the blade.
10. Tighten the four screws shown in Figure 75,
then repeat
Steps 7–8.
11. Remove the blade.
12. Re-install the blade guard with the two cap
screws and hex bolt you removed in
Step 4.
Tip: It may help to install the lower part of
the guard first with the cap screws, then
install the hex bolt. Also, when the guide post
assembly is raised up there is limited room to
access the hole where the hex bolt threads
in. So, try installing the hex bolt with the guide
post assembly closer to the table.
13. Re-install the blade guide assembly.
14. Re-install the blade and the table pin, then
close the wheel covers.
15. Check the blade tension (refer to Page 24)
and tracking (refer to
Page 19).
16. Perform the Aligning Blade Bearings and
Adjusting Blade Guide Bearings proce-
dures on
Pages 25 and 28.
