5. Install your blade of choice. Track and ten-
sion as per the instructions in this manual.

bearing guides are
1
/16" behind blade gul-
lets. Tighten the guide assembly.
7. Now rotate the bearing guide shafts until the
bearings are approximately
1
/64'' from the
blade. Hold the shafts in place with a screw
driver and tighten the bearing guide lock
nuts. The guide bearing, when adjusted cor-
rectly, should have a slight drag against the
blade. If the guide bearings pinch the blade,
it will damage the bearing guides and blade.
8. Slide the rear support bearing until it is approx-
imately
1
/32'' from the blade and tighten.
NOTICE
The bearing guide shaft lock nuts should
only be as loose as necessary to allow the
shafts to rotate. If they are too loose it will
be very difficult, if not impossible, to adjust
the guides accurately.

installing a new blade. Refer to Figure 8 to iden-
tify the components of the guide assembly.To
adjust the lower guides:

are away from the blade.
2. Loosen the setscrew that holds the rear
support bearing in place and slide it back.
3. Loosen the bolts that hold the lower guide
assembly in place and slide the lower guide
back.
