The rollers are mounted on cam bolts that raise or lower the arm when turned.
To adjust the rollers, locate the cam bolt head inside the housing and turn until the arm is lowered or
raised as needed. Recheck the arm in both the open and closed positions. Repeat adjustments until
the arm is the same distance from the bed rail in the open and closed position.
7.
The blade guide arm should be snug, but not too tight, in the rollers. You should be able to move it in
and out with firm hand pressure. There should be no side-to-side play.

Blade Guide Arm Horizontal Adjustment
1.
Put the blade guide assembly back in the arm (if you took it out). Put the assembly back so that the
flanged collar on the roller is about 1/8" (3.0 mm) from the back of the blade when the throat is 1/2"
(15 mm) from full open.
2.
Close the throat to within 1/2" (15 mm) from fully closed. Check to see that the flange is the same
distance from the back of the blade.
See Figure 5-13.
