NOTE: Letting the blade teeth hit the blade guides while using the band saw will ruin the blade. The set of the teeth and the sharpened edge of the teeth would be damaged. Proper adjustment of the upper
and lower blade guide assemblies will prevent this Saw from happening.
5.Adjust the blade guides last. Use a 1/8" hex wrench to turn the blade guides in or out to where they just clear the side of the blade. Do this for all four guides.
NOTE: There is a plastic patch on the blade guide threads that makes them difficult to turn. This is nec-
essary to prevent rotation of the guides during opera- tion of the saw.
6.Reinstall blade guard and tighten screw.
7.Close the front cover of the saw.
