Lower Blade Guide Adjustment - Wen 3962 Manual

ADJUSTMENTS
UPPER BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
The height of the upper blade guard should be adjusted prior to every op-
eration to accomodate the height of the workpiece (the blade guard should
M1
be no more than one-fifth of an inch (3mm) from the upper edge of the
workpiece).
M2
1. Use the adjustment knob (Fig. M1) to adjust the height of the upper
blade guide. Use the outer locking knob to secure the guard in place when
M3
it has reached the desired height.
2. Loosen the knobs on the side of the blade guard (Fig. M2 and M3) and
adjust both the thrust and guide bearings so that they are positioned ap-
proximately 1/10 of one inch (2mm) or less (.5mm for the guide bearing)
away from the blade. The inside knob (Fig. M3) adjusts the thrust bearing,
holding the back of the blade in place. The outside knob (Fig. M2) adjusts
Fig. M
the guide bearings, moving the blade left and right.
3. Once desired adjustments have been achieved (Fig. N, Fig. O), tighten
the knobs to secure the bearing guides in place.
