5. Loosen the table mounting hex bolts (see

square to the blade front-to-back and side-to-
side.

screws, then recheck the alignment of the
table with the blade.

Blade Guides
The inserts in the face of the blade guides and the
blade support are made of tungsten steel.
With use, the front of the blade guide inserts will
wear and it may become difficult to properly adjust
the guides to the blade (refer to Adjusting Blade
Guides & Support on Page 26). If this is the
case, swap and turn over the blade guides so that
the inserts are reversed relative to the blade (see
Figure 52).
Figure 52. Blade guide and support orientation.
As the blade is deflected back into the blade
support during operation, a groove will eventu
-
ally wear into the blade support. As this groove
becomes deeper, it can affect the accuracy of the
cut. When this happens, loosen the blade support
cap screw and rotate the blade support, as shown
in Figure 52.
Note: Make sure to re-adjust the blade guides
and support (as directed in Adjusting Blade
Guides & Support on Page 26
) after making
these changes.
