Roller-Disc Guides
The "Euro-style" roller-discs (see Figure 54) can
be adjusted left to right, as well as front to back,
relative to the blade. Properly adjusted roller-discs
provide side-to-side support, from just behind
the gullets to the back of the blade, to help keep
the blade straight while cutting. There are roller-
discs on the upper and lower "Euro-style" roller-
disc guide assemblies. Both adjust in the same
manner.
Important: Make sure the blade is tracking and
tensioned correctly before adjusting roller disc
guides (see Tensioning Blade on Page 28).
The "Euro-style" roller-disc guide support bear-
ing (see Figure 54) functions in the same way as
the support bearing that came with your saw. It is
positioned behind the blade near the roller-discs
and prevents the blade from pushing backward
during cutting operations. To adjust the support
bearings, refer to Page 31 for more detailed
instructions.
Important: Always adjust roller-discs before
adjusting roller-disc guide support bearing.
