7. When satisfied, return the upper and lower
blade guides close to the blade.
8. Close upper and lower doors.
Guide Post
For effective cutting and for safety’s sake, there
should be a minimum amount of space between
the top of the workpiece and the bottom of the
blade guides. Loosen the locking knob (see
Figure 6) and rotate the handwheel (Figure 6) to
raise or lower the guide post so that the guides
clear the workpiece by about 3/16”.
Blade Guides
Blade guides must be
properly adjusted or damage may occur to
the blade and/or guides.
1. Loosen the two socket head cap screws on
the guide housing. See Figure 8.
2. Move the guide support forward or
backward in accordance with the width of
the blade. The front end of the blade guides
should be adjusted approximately 1/8”
behind the blade teeth. See Figure 8.
3. Tighten the hex cap screws securely.
4. This procedure should be done for both
upper and lower guide housings.
5. Loosen the socket head cap screws (Figure
9) on the blade guides.
6. Move the blade guides so they are as close
to the blade as possible without touching it.
7. Tighten the socket head cap screws (Figure
9).
8. This procedure should be done for both
upper and lower blade guides.
As the blade guides receive use, they will
become worn at the front end. If the blade
guides become difficult to adjust, switch the left
and right blade guides (Figure 10).
The stopper positioned behind the back edge of
the blade (Figure 10) will also become worn with
use, and the friction of the shaft with the saw
blade may cause lines in the surface of the
stopper. If this occurs, loosen the socket head
cap screw, and rotate the stopper to either side
to change its position on the blade. Re-tighten
socket head cap screw.
