3) and position the blade guide assembly (B, Fig. 3) so that the guides rest just behind the gullet of the blade teeth. Tighten the socket head cap screw.

4. Loosen lock nuts (D, Fig. 3).

5. Adjust guide knobs (E, Fig. 3) so guides (C, Fig. 3) rest lightly against the blade. Do not force the guides against the side of the blade. Tighten both lock nuts.
