Remove the blade housing cover to access the blade guide arm roller
mounting bolts. To adjust the rollers, loosen the jam nuts on the other side of the blade
housing and turn the mounting bolts. To tilt the blade guide arm down, adjust the outer top
and bottom rollers up. To tilt the blade guide arm up, adjust the outer top and bottom roll-
ers down. Retighten the jam nuts and recheck the blade guide arm vertical tilt.
Blade Guide Vertical Tilt Alignment
The blade guides should be adjusted properly in the vertical plane. If the blade guides are
tilted vertically, the blade will try to travel in the tilted direction.
A Blade Guide Alignment Tool (BGAT) is provided to help you measure the vertical tilt of
the blade.
1.
Open the adjustable blade guide arm 1/2" (13 mm) from full open.
2.
Clip the alignment tool on the blade. Position the tool close to the outer blade guide
assembly. Be sure the tool does not rest on a tooth or burr, and is lying flat against the
bottom of the blade.
