Maintenance
See Figure 5-2. Prior to Rev. A2.01:
To adjust the blocks up, loosen the nuts on the outer adjustment bolts and back the bolts
out slightly. Tighten the middle bolt to raise the block mounting plate up until it contacts
the outer bolts. Check the space between the block and the blade. When proper spacing
is achieved, tighten the outer bolt nuts.
Preventing sap buildup on the blade is critical when using the high-performance blade
guide system. If the wood you are sawing leaves sap buildup using plain water in the
blade lube system, use Wood-Mizer lube additive (4-Pak 60 oz. bottles part no. ADD-1).
