Guide Post
The rack and pinion guide post can be easily raised and lowered by first loosening the lock knob, then turning the guide post handwheel. Because the blade guard and the entire upper blade guide assembly are attached to the guide post, these items move up or down with the guide post.
Blade Guides
Always adjust the blade guides away from the blade before installing a new blade or making blade tracking/tension adjustments.
G9963/G9966 Blade Guides
To move the assemblies out of the way, loosen the middle cap screws (shown in Figure 9) from the front of the blade guide assembly. These screws loosen the guide blocks which can then slide out of the way of the blade. After the blade tension and the blade tracking are set correctly, follow the “Guide Block” and “Support Bearing” instructions in this section for adjustment details.
