When Required:
• "Sta-Level" Blade Guard: If the blade guard
becomes loose and pivots too freely the blade
guard rotation can be tightened. Adjust the Top
Wheel (1) of the three (3) wheels behind the
blade guard:

1. Loosen the NUT (3) holding the Top Wheel
(1) in position.
. Adjust the Setscrew (4) to force the Top Wheel
(1) down against the Track Bar (5).
3. Re-tighten the Nut (3) holding the Top Wheel
(1) in position.

Blade Shaft Housing Replacement and Blade
Alignment: The blade shaft arbor on this
machine is aligned at the factory so that a new
blade will cut "square" with the material placed
on the Conveyor Cart Assembly (). There are
two reasons that a blade could be out of align-
ment:
1. If the Blade Shaft Housing (9) or Blade
Shaft Assembly needs to be replaced. If
this is the case, take note of the position
and quantity of Shims (6) behind the
blade shaft Assembly before completely
removing it from the saw. If the shims
are placed back in position when the new
Blade Housing Assembly (9) is installed
there is normally no reason to re-align the
blade. If this is not the case, follow the
alignment procedure shown below.
. If the saw is dropped or damaged, the
blade could become mis-aligned so that it
no longer cuts "squarely" through the mate-
rial. If this occurs the blade shaft should
be re-aligned so that the saw will produce
"square" cuts. If the Blade is severely out
of alignment [1/16" (1.5 mm)
or more] parts of the Cutting Head assem-
bly (8) may need to be replaced. Precise
alignment can be achieved by using
the Adjustment Screws (7) and/or Shims
(6) and following the procedure.

• Note: Before starting to align the head platform
make sure the blade is flat and is NOT bent or
damaged!
• Note: When aligning the blade against the
square be sure to allow for the difference in
thickness between the diamond segment and the
center core of the blade!
Blade Alignment:
1. Make sure the Conveyor Cart Assembly ()
rolls freely along the pan. If the pan is dam-
aged it must be repaired or replaced before the
blade can be aligned. Adjust the Cutting Head
Assembly (8) so that the Blade (6) is lowered
to the Conveyor Cart ().

. Parallel Alignment: Supply a Square (30) and
place it on the Conveyor Cart Assembly () as
shown in the diagram above. Roll the Conveyor
Cart Assembly () while the Square (30) rests
against the blade. Adjust the Blade Shaft into
Parallel Alignment (if required) by putting Shims
(6) between the vertical surface behind the
Blade Shaft Housing (9) and Head Platform
Weldment at location "A1" shown on the dia-
gram above. Loosen, but do not remove,
Capscrews (31) holding the blade shaft in posi-
tion. Slide a Shim (6), of the proper thickness,
upward and position around the thread of ONE
of the capscrews. Tighten the hardware and
check the blade alignment. Add more shims if
required until until the gap between the Blade
(6) and the Square (30) is minimized, and con-
sistent over the entire length that the Conveyor
Cart () travels.
