Lower Blade Guide Assembly Adjustment

When it is not possible to accomplish the neces- sary blade guide positioning with the eccentric spindles alone, the entire blade guide assembly must be re-adjusted. First position the lower blade guide assembly, then the upper blade guide assembly.

To position the lower blade guide assembly:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Move the saw frame forward until it is up to, but not yet entering the slot in the table, as shown in Figure 37, then lock the frame in place using the saw frame stop clamp.

4.Loosen set screws A, B, and C on the lower blade guide assembly (Figure 38).

5.Wearing gloves, hold the blade in-line with the path of the saw and centered over the slot in the table. Rotate the eccentric shaft so the blade guide assembly is centered over the blade, as shown in Figure 39, then tighten set screw A.

6.Rotate the blade guide assembly and apply just enough pressure to hold the blade flat against both guide rollers. Rotate the eccen- tric spindles so their slots are oriented verti- cally, as shown in Figure 40. This positions the blade guides in the center of their range of motion to facilitate later adjustments.

7.Tighten set screws C.
