12. Re-check blade gap. If necessary to achieve
blade gap of 0.002" between blade guides,

adjust gap (see Figure 58).
— To move blade forward (tighter gap), turn
jack screws clockwise.
— To move blade backward (looser gap),
turn jack screws counterclockwise.

13. Repeat Checking Blade Gap procedure on
Page 38 to test blade gap adjustments.
— If blade gap is correct, hold each jack
screw in position and tighten its hex nut,
then proceed to Step 14.
— If blade gap is not correct, repeat Steps
9–12 until cut is even.
14. Loosen set screw on outside of both blade
gap adjusters and align pointers with "0" set-
ting (see Figure 54 on Page 39). Tighten set
screws.
Note: Settings on both adjusters must match
in order to maintain gap adjuster accuracy for
cutting operations.
15. Evenly tighten pressure-regulating hex bolts
on hold-down clamp (see Figure 52 on
Page 39).
CAUTION: DO NOT overtighten hex bolts to
avoid possible damage to hold-down clamp
disc springs.
