to the left or right depending on the position of the left
hand vise jaw (C).

12.3 ADJUSTING BLADE GUIDE ROLLER
BEARINGS
The back of the blade (A) Fig. 7, should ride against the
back-up support bearing (B) which is positioned at an
angle so as to provide greater bearing support, eliminating
bearing wear and extending blade life.
The saw blade (A) should also ride between the two roller
bearings (C) and (D) Fig. 7.
The rear bearing (C) on the left hand blade guide can be
easily adjusted to suit blade thickness by loosening nut
(E). The bearing (C) is on an eccentric which enables it to
be adjusted for blade thickness in the same manner with
the exception that the adjustable roller bearing is in the
forward position.
Part (F) shown Fig. 8 is a tungsten carbide block, after
completing the adjustments shown in Fig. 7, tighten the
Part (F) onto the surface of the saw blade.
