4.
If the measurements at the front and rear ends of the tool differ by more than 1/16" (1.5
mm), adjust the vertical tilt of the idle-side blade wheel in the same manner as in Step 7.
5.
Recheck the vertical tilt of the idle-side blade wheel with the blade guide alignment tool.
Readjust the blade wheel as necessary until the front and rear of the tool are the same
distance from the bed rail (within 1/16" [1.5 mm]).
BLADE TRACKING
6.
Check the position of the blade on the idle-side blade wheel.
The horizontal tilt of the blade wheel should be adjusted so that the blade tracks with the
gullet of an 1-1/4" blade at 1/8" (3
mm) out from the front edge of the wheel (±1/32 [0.75
mm]).
See Figure 9-12.
7.
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.
