Adjusting Blade
Support Bearings
The support bearings are positioned behind the
blade near the blade guides and prevent the blade
from pushing backward during cutting operations.
Proper adjustment of the support bearings helps
you make accurate cuts and prevents the blade
teeth from coming in contact with the blade guides
while cutting. If this happens, the blade "tooth
set" can be ruined, which will greatly reduce the
blade's ability to make good cuts.
There are support bearings on the upper and
lower blade guide assemblies. Both adjust in the
same manner. The following instructions refer to
the upper support bearings.
Important: To ensure best results while cutting,
make sure the blade is tracking and tensioned
correctly before performing this procedure.

3. Position support bearing approximately
0.016" away from back of blade, as illustrated
in
Figure 45.
Note: The main purpose of this adjustment
is to prevent the blade from being pushed
backward far enough that the blade guides
will contact (and ruin) the "tooth set" of the
blade during cutting operations.
