Method 3:
1. Underneath the carriage cover is four bolts (size 13
wrench) that hold the head's two sub-assembly
together. The upper assembly is the carriage and the
lower assembly is the actual cutting head. The three
bolts highlighted by the balloon "C", in the mid-left
illustration are the actual bolts that need to be
loosened. Only loosen the bolts enough that the lower
sub-assembly can move, changing the blade shaft's
orientation. The fourth bolt is the pivoting bolt and does
not have to be loosened.
2. If the blade is constantly shifting left, using Fig. 4 as
reference, the cutting head must be rotated counter-
clockwise (left).
3. If the blade is constantly shifting right, using Fig. 4 as
reference, the cutting head must be rotated clockwise
(right).
Note: The cutting head should glide effortlessly across
the bridge. Should the head be too tight or too loose,
adjust the rollers on the left (A) using a size 17 wrench
to rotate it. Rollers on the right (B) are fixed so they
cannot be adjusted.
Fig. 5 depicts how aligning the blade with the steel
square does not always mean the head is aligned with
the bridge.
1. The solid line represents the steel square.
2. The dotted line represents the bridge and ACTUAL
travel direction of the cutting head.
3. The rectangular box represents the blade/cutting
head orientation.
As the user pushes/pulls the cutting head if the cutting
head is not properly aligned with the bridge, the blade
will always moves away from the steel square.
