.016" away from the back of the blade as

illustrated in Figure 23.

step 3 to secure the position of the support

bearings.

NOTICE

Whenever changing a blade or adjusting ten-

sion and tracking, the upper and lower blade

support bearings and guide blocks must be

properly adjusted before cutting operations.

Figure 23. Correct support bearing positioning.

The blade guides support the sides of the blade

while a cutting operation is being performed. The

blade guides are designed to be adjusted in two

ways—forward/backward and side-to-side.

Proper adjustment of the blade guides ensures

accurate cuts by eliminating back-and-forth blade

flex. There is a set of blade guides both above

and below the table.

To adjust the upper and lower blade guides:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power

source!

2. Loosen the hex nut shown in Figure 24.
