8. Perform the Blade Guide Adjustments pro-
cedure in the next subsection.
9. Re-install the blade guard.
Note: Ensure blade guard does not contact
upper wheel or blade.
Blade Guide Adjustments
The blade guides should be positioned 0.004"
away from each side of the blade and
the teeth gullets.
The goal is to position the guides as close as
possible to the blade from side-to-side without
touching it. The guides are positioned behind the
teeth gullets to provide support without allowing
the guides to ruin the teeth set when the blade is
pushed back during cutting.
Tools Needed
Hex Wrench 3mm, 5mm ........................... 1 Each
Phillips Head Screwdriver #2 ............................ 1
Feeler Gauges 0.004" ....................................... 1
Dollar Bill (instead of feeler gauge)* .................. 1
Fine Ruler .......................................................... 1
*The thickness of a dollar bill is approximately
0.004", so it can be used in the place of the 0.004"
feeler gauge.
To adjust the blade guides:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Remove the blade guard.
3.
Make sure the blade support is correct-
ly positioned behind the blade (refer to
Blade Support Adjustment in the previous
subsection).
4.
Make sure the blade guide bracket cap
screw is loose (see Figure 29).
