4.Loosen the lateral adjustment rod cap screw, loosen the support bearing adjustment shaft bolt, and adjust the blade guides until the edges of the bearings are 1/16" behind the blade gullets, as illustrated in Figure 24.

Note: The 1/16" spacing is ideal, although with larger blades it may not be possible. In such cases, adjust the guide bearings as far for- ward to the blade gullets as possible, and still maintain the proper support bearing spacing adjustment.

NOTICE

Make sure that the blade teeth will not con- tact the guide bearings when the blade is against the rear support bearing during the cut or the blade teeth will be ruined.

5.Tighten the lateral adjustment rod cap screw.

6.Loosen the bearing rotation adjustment bolts on both sides of the blade.

7.Rotate the knurled knobs to position the bear- ings 0.004" away from the blade.

Note: 0.004" is approximately the thickness of a dollar bill.

8.Tighten both of the the bearing rotation adjustment bolts to lock the blade guide bear- ings in position.
