Blade Guides

(G0614)

The blade guides have a basic factory adjust- ment, but due to shipping and storage we recom- mend that you readjust the blade guides yourself to ensure the cuts will to be your standards.

CUTTING HAZARD!

Blades are sharp! Put on heavy leather gloves when handling a blade or making adjustments near a blade or cutter!

To adjust the blade guides:

1.Make sure the blade is oiled, tensioned, and tracking correctly.

2.DISCONNECT THE BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3.Raise and lock the bow in place and slide the guides together as close as you can and lock into place.

4.Remove the two Phillips head screws and the blade guide guard, (see Figure 43).

Tip: There should be no gap between the blade and the bearings or the carbide blade guides. To set the clearance without fighting blade twist, remove the blade guides, and set this clearance to the blade thickness and then reinstall the blade guides.

5.Make sure the guide housing has not tilted.

6.Loosen both of the cap screws (Figure 43) and push the guide bearing housing down until the upper carbide pad rests on the back of the saw blade.
