1.The lower blade guide adjustments consist of a thrust bearing that supports the band saw blade from the rear and two guide pins that provide lateral support, these need to be readjusted after every band saw blade change or tracking adjustment.
2.The work table needs to be tilted 45° and the door needs to be open before the thrust bearing locking screw and guide pins can be adjusted. This helps give better access to the adjustment screws.

is turned by hand it should not make contact with the thrust bearing.
3.Tighten the thrust bearing locking screw.
