Tip: To quickly gauge this setting, fold a crisp
dollar bill in half twice (when folded tightly,
four thicknesses of a dollar bill is approxi-
mately 0.016"). Place the folded dollar bill
between the support bearing and the blade,
as shown in Figure 32.

Note: With wider blades, it may not be possi-
ble to bring the guide bearings just behind the
blade gullets. Position them as far forward as
possible without allowing the guide bearing
housing to touch the back of the blade.
The set of the teeth increase the chance of
the bearings contacting the teeth during a
cutting operation as the set of the teeth is
wider than the blade. The support bearing
must be set to prevent this.
