Check the position of the blade on the idle-side blade wheel.
See Figure 7-20.
The horizontal tilt of the blade wheel should be adjusted so that the gul-
let of an 1-1/4" blade is 1/8" (3 mm) out from the front edge of the wheel (±1/16 [1.5 mm]).
The gullet of an 1-1/2" blade should be 3/16" (4.5 mm) out from the front edge of the
wheel (±1/16 [1.5 mm]). Do not let the teeth ride on the wheels.
See Figure 7-21.
Use the cant control adjustment to adjust the idle-side blade wheel. If
the blade is too far forward on the wheel, turn the cant control counterclockwise. If it is too
far back on the wheel, turn the cant control clockwise.
