Dust Port - Delta 28-206 Instruction Manual

5. Two set screws (B) Fig. 35 hold the upper blade
guides (A) in place. Loosen the set screws (B) to move
the guides (A). Place them as close as possible to the
side of the blade. (Be careful not to pinch the blade).
Tighten the screws (B).
6. The upper blade support bearing (E) Fig. 35 prevents
damage to the set in the saw teeth by keeping the blade
from being pushed too far toward the back. The support
bearing (E) should be set 1/64" behind the blade by
loosening the thumb screw (F) and turning the knurled
knob (G) to move the support bearing (E) in or out.
7. Adjust the blade support bearing (E) so that the back
edge of the blade overlaps the outside diameter of the
ball bearing by about 1/16". The bearing (E) is set on an
eccentric. To change the position, remove the screw (H)
and bearing (E) Fig. 35. Loosen the thumb screw (F),
back out the knurled knob from the set screw. Remove
the hex shaft from the hole, and rotate it to move the
eccentric for the bearing.
8. When the blade guide wears to a point that it cannot
be adjusted close to the blade, loosen screw (B) Fig. 35
and reverse the blade guides (A) Fig. 35.
ADJUSTING LOWER BLADE
GUIDES AND BLADE SUPPORT
BEARING
Adjust the lower blade guides and blade support bearing
after the the upper guides and bearing have been
adjusted.

so that they are just behind the "gullets" of the saw
teeth. Turn the knurled knob (C) Fig. 36 to make this
adjustment. Check the support bearing (D) Fig. 36. It
should not be touching the back of the blade.
3. Loosen the two screws (A) Fig. 36. Move the guides
(B) as close as possible to the side of the blade, being
careful not to pinch the blade. Tighten screws (A).
4. Turn the other knurled knob (E) to adjust the lower
blade support bearing (D) Fig. 36 so that it is about 1/64"
behind the back of the blade.
