OPERATIONS
Blade Guide Arms
The blade guide bearings are mounted on the front and
rear arms. The rear arm is adjustable and should be set as
close to the workpiece as possible. This will help ensure
straight cuts by keeping the blade from twisting and drift-
ing off of the cut line.
To adjust the rear blade guide arm:
Loosen the knob shown in Figure 18 and slide the rear
blade guide as close to the workpiece as possible, then
tighten the knob.
The front blade guide arm has a self-adjusting wire brush
that makes contact with the blade to help clear away chips
and extend blade life (see Figure 19). Figure 18. Blade guides.
