Blade Guide Bearing Adjustment
IMPORTANT:
This is the most important adjustment on your saw. It is impossible
to get satisfactory work from your saw if the blade guides are not properly adjusted. This saw
has been adjusted and power tested before leaving the factory to insure proper setting. If the
guides do get out of adjustment, it is extremely important to re-adjust immediately. An
improperly adjusted blade will not cut straight and serious blade damage may result. It is always
best to try a new blade to see if this will correct poor cutting before beginning to adjust the blade
guide bearings. If the blade becomes dull on one side and not the other, for example, it will
begin cutting crooked. A blade change will correct this problem; the guide adjustment will not. If
a new blade does not correct the problem, check the clearance between the blade and guides.
Clearance should be from just touching to .001”.
The inner guide bearing is fixed and cannot be adjusted. The outer guide bearing is mounted to
an eccentric bushing and can be adjusted.
1. Loosen the nut while holding the bolt with an allen wrench.
2. Position the eccentric by turning the bolt to the desired position of clearance.
3. Tighten the nut.
4. Adjust the second blade guide bearing in the same manner.
