Note:
With wider blades, it may not be possible to
bring the guide bearings just behind the
blade gullets. Position them as far forward
as possible without allowing the guide
bearing housing to touch the back of the
blade.
NOTICE
The band saw blade teeth are angled out
slightly, protruding wider than the blade
thickness; this is known as the "tooth set"
(Figure R). If teeth contact the guide
bearings during operation, damage may
occur. Therefore, the support bearing must
be set to prevent teeth from contacting the
guide bearings during operation.

3. Loosen the guide bearing lock
screws (Figure P)
4. Loosen
adjustment screws (Figure P), and
then position the guide bearings so
they evenly and lightly touch the
sides of the blade (Figure S) without
deflecting it one way or the other.
When the blade guide bearings are
properly adjusted against the blade,
they should lightly rotate as the
blade moves.

5. Tighten the guide bearing lock
