Guide Bar - Craftsman 113.243401 Owner's Manual

9. GUIDE BAR
When the upper guides are raised or lowered, they must
not deflect the blade sideways. This means that the guide
bar must be parallel to the blade, or square with the
table.
1. Remove the blade guard, cover, blade, and the upper
guide assembly.
2. Lower the guide bar until the end is approximately
1-3/4" from the table.
3.
4.
Hold a square on the table against the guide bar.
If the bar is not square with the table, lock the guide
bar and loosen the four screws in the guide bar
support with a 3/16" setscrew wrench. To reach the
lower left screw, it will be necessary to tilt the upper
wheel outward.
NOTE: The holes in the guide bar support are larger
than the screws. This allows the support to be moved.
5. Move the guide bar until it is square with the table,
then tighten the screws.
6. Be sure to replace the blade guard before operation.
