Tilt Adjusters
Level the guides (on the front to back plane) to
the conveyor with the two Tilt Adjusters on the
top of each guide arm after loosening the large
tilt lockdown bolt.
Place the 6" mark of a 12" ruler in the middle of the blade between the blade teeth in
the direction of the conveyor. By using the front edge of the guide block as a
reference, set this surface at a right angle to the conveyor. Use this to make sure the
blade is running parallel to the conveyor. When set properly, lock down the Tilt
Adjusters and retighten tilt lockdown bolt.
Loosen the front-to-back positioning bolts on the guide brackets to bring the front of
the guide plates slightly behind the back of the blade gullet. Retighten front-to-back
positioning bolts while holding down on the guide so that it is as low as the slot will
allow.
Loosen the guide wheel bolt and turn the shaft of the guide wheel using the slot at the
top of the guide until the wheel is about 1/32" from the back of the blade. Retighten
the guide wheel bolt. This prohibits the blade from being pushed back far enough that
the guide plates knock the set out of the blade teeth.
Loosen upper guide positioning bolt and move the Upper Guide Plates down to just
slightly touch the blade and retighten upper guide positioning bolt.
Be sure the blade passes freely through the guides but does not move up and down.
Remove the dust elbow and look into the dust shoot to make sure that the blade runs
perfectly straight from one wheel to the other with no deflections due to the blade
guides. Also, make sure the position and angle of the guides are identical while
looking into the dust shoot.
