SAW GUIDE ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
This operation is performed with the engine "OFF"!
The front and rear pointers are set in line at the factory. However, the pointers should be checked for proper
alignment with the blade after every use. The following are the procedures for aligning the pointers with the
blade, with the engine shut off.
1. Using a straight edge, carefully mark a line 12 feet long on a smooth level concrete surface.
2. Place the saw parallel to the line. Lower the blade and center it over the line.
3. FRONT: With the blade centered over the line and the saw frame parallel to the line, lower the front
pointer assembly and position the pointer over the line.
4. REAR: With the blade centered over the line and the saw frame parallel to the line, loose the pointe
and adjust up or down and ensure that it touches the line.
5. Finally, roll the saw along the entire length of the line. The saw should lead off no more than 6 inches to the left
in 12 feet of forward travel. Adjust the pointer in or out if the lead-off is outside this parameter.
6. Secure hardware.
