Blade Height
The blade height is the distance between the conveyor table and the bottom of the blade.
NOTICE
The resaw blade may come into contact with the conveyor belt if lowered below 1⁄4".
To set the blade height:
1.Disconnect the resaw from the power source!
2.Turn the blade elevation handwheel (shown in Figure 28) counterclockwise to raise the blade or clockwise to lower the blade. Use the elevation gauge to determine the height.
Note: Six rotations of the handwheel raises the blade approximately 1/4".

3.Connect the resaw to power and cut a test piece.
4.Measure the test piece to ensure the thick- ness matches the elevation gauge reading.
—If the wood thickness is different than indicated on the elevation gauge, turn to
Blade Elevation Gauge on page 43 for adjustment instructions.
