To Adjust Thrust Bearings
•Adjust the thrust bearings first. Using the 118in. hex key, loosen the thrust bearing screw.
Note: The thrust bearing screw is the upper cap screw located on the right side of the blade guide assembly. It is the lower cap screw on the right side of the frame below the table for the lower bearing.
•Move the thrust bearing to within 1/64 in. of the blade. Tighten the thrust bearing screw securely. Repeat this procedure on the lower thrust bearing, located below the table.
Note: The thrust bearing is to support the back edge of the blade while cutting. The blade should not contact the bearings when you stop cutting. It is important that both thrust bearings be adjusted equally.
