upper blade should be in the lowered position.

First, semi- tighten the lower blade securing bolt, then
insert the thickness gauge for the desired clearance. The
cutting thickness is indicated on the thickness gauge so
the combinations shown in the table below should be
used. Work the lower blade positioning bolt on the yoke
until the clearance is such that the thickness gauge
moves only with some difficulty. Then firmly tighten the
lower blade securing bolt. Finally, tighten the hex nut to
secure the lower blade positioning bolt.
