Adjusting
Blade Guides
The blade guides can be adjusted top-to-bottom
and front-to-back relative to the blade. Properly
adjusted blade guides firmly support the blade
position along the cutting section of the blade.
After changing the blade, or if milling operations
produce inconsistent cuts, adjust the ceramic
blade guides and support bearings as described
in the following sections.
IMPORTANT: To ensure best results while cut-
ting, make sure the blade is tracking and ten-
sioned correctly before performing these proce-
dures (see Tensioning Blade on Page 36 and
Adjusting Blade Tracking on Page 38).
Adjusting Blade Guide Assemblies
When properly adjusted, there is about 0.016"
between the blade gullets and the front of the
blade guides.
