Arbor gib assembly adjustment
A dovetail gib is provided on the arbor height assembly to
insure a good sliding fit between the arbor assembly and
the trunnion bracket when raising and lowering the blade.
This gib has been adjusted at the factory and should not
need any further adjustment. If adjustment is necessary,
perform the following steps.
SEE FIG 34.

2. While holding the 8mm hex head bolt(A) with a
wrench, loosen the hex nut onlyslightly (less than 1/8"
of a turn). SEE FIG.35
Fig.36
3.Tighten the 5mm hex head bolts (B) slightly. Correct
adjustment is when a good snug sliding fit is obtained
without any side play or movement between the mating
dovetail surfaces. The adjustment should not be too
tight that it restricts the sliding movement when the
blade is raised and lowered or too loose that it affects
accuracy. SEE FIG.36
4.Once proper fit is achieved, retighten the (2)8mm hex
Head bolts(A) and M5 hex nut against the casting.
