Guides

The blade guides provide side-to-side support to help keep the blade straight while cutting. The blade guides adjust in two ways—forward/back- ward and side-to-side. Properly adjusted blade guides are essential to making accurate cuts.

To adjust the upper and lower blade guides:

1.Make sure the blade tracks properly and is correctly tensioned.

2.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3.Familiarize yourself with the blade guide con- trols shown in Figure 24.
