3. Loosen the socket head cap screws (G, Fig. 4)
and position the blade guide assembly (H, Fig.
4) so that the guides rest just behind the gullet
of the blade teeth. Tighten the socket head
cap screws.
4. Loosen thumb screw (I, Fig. 4). Adjust guides
(J, Fig. 4) so they rest lightly against the blade.
Do not force the guide against the side of the
blade. Tighten thumb screw.
5. Adjust the blade support bearing so that it is
0.003" away from the back of the blade, about
the thickness of a piece of paper. To make this
adjustment loosen wing nut (K, Fig. 4) and slide
the bearing and bearing post into position.
Tighten wing nut.
Note: Blade support bearing should be adjusted so
that the back edge of the blade overlaps the front
face of the ball bearing by approximately 1/8". If
adjustment is needed loosen wing nut (K, Fig. 4)
and turn the bearing shaft. Tighten wing nut.
