Lower blade guide.
The lower blade guides have two locking screws that,
when released, allow the guide assembly to be moved
forward and back. Rotate the blade by hand and ensure
that it is tracking consistently in the correct position.
Loosen the side guides and move out from the blade.
Loosen the two clamp screws that allow the guide
assembly to move forward and back. Adjust it so that the
ceramic blocks are just behind the gullet of the blade and
retighten the clamp screws.
Place a dollar bill or piece of paper of similar thickness
between the guide blocks and the blade. Gently bring
both side guides toward the blade so that slight pressure
is exerted on the blade. Tighten the
remove the paper. Rotate the blade by hand, ensuring
that the weld of the blade does not hit the ceramic blocks,
as this will cause damage. If the blade has a bad weld,
dress the blade or return it to your supplier.
Loosen the rear guide clamp screw and push the guide
forward so that it just touches the back of the blade.
Tighten the guide in position.
Rotate the blade by hand and check to see that the
back of the blade does not hit the blade guide with a
bad weld. If the back of the blade hits the rear blade
guide at the weld, then dress the blade or, in excessive
cases, return the blade to the supplier.
Note: You will probably find that the guides can be
adjusted more easily by tilting the table to 45 degrees.
Note: Rotate the back guide by approximately 15
degrees after every 8 hours of use. This will greatly
extend the life of the back blade guide, as it will even out
the wear.
Before you cut any wood, read the safety rules at the
front of this manual.
