adjustments. NEVER make adjustments with the machine running.

NOTE: Make sure the blade is tensioned and tracking properly. Adjust the blade guides and support bearing after each blade tension and tracking adjustment. When the upper blade guides and support bearings are adjusted, the lower guides and bearings should also be adjusted.
