1.
Remove the blade guide alignment tool from the blade and adjust the blade guide arm
halfway in.
See Figure 9-7.
2.
Measure between the back edge of the blade and the blade guide roller at the left side of
the blade guide ("A").
3.
Measure between the back edge of the blade and the blade guide roller at the right side
of the blade guide ("B").
The roller should be tilted slightly to the left (’A’ 1/8" [3
mm] less than ’B’ ±1/8" [3 mm]).
4.
Loosen the jam nuts on the horizontal tilt adjustment screws.
To tilt the roller left, loosen the right screw and tighten left screw. To tilt the roller right,
loosen the left screw and tighten the right screw.
5.
Tighten the jam nuts and recheck the tilt of the blade
6.
Repeat the above steps for the other blade guide roller assembly.
Blade Guide Flange Spacing
Each blade guide must be adjusted so the roller flange is the correct distance from the
back edge of the blade. If the flange is too close to or too far from the blade, the sawmill
will not cut accurately.
