Blade Guides

The instructions on adjusting the upper guide blocks and support bearing are given in Section

5:Set Up. This section focuses on adjusting the lower blade guides, which is a non-routine adjustment that would typically be done before the upper blade guide and support bearing would be adjusted.

To adjust the lower blade guides:

1.Disconnect the resaw from the power source!

2.Open the wheel cover for easy access to the blade guide assemblies.

3.Make sure the blade is tensioned in the same manner that will be used for operation.

4.Loosen the lateral adjustment bolts (shown in Figure 34).
