7.1 ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTING BLADE GUIDES
In order to obtain a correctly squared cut, you must make sure that there is a distance of .035
thousandths of an inch (0.9 mm) between the side plates (3), so that they are all in contact with the blade.
To adjust this distance, follow the instructions given below:
1. Loosen screws (1)
2. Place a .035" (0.9 mm) gauge or sheet between the
plates and adjust the distance using the set screw (2).
The gauge must slide smoothly but without
wobbling. (If a gauge is not available, a piece of the
cutting blade from the machine may be used.)
The upper guide assembly may also be exerting excessive pressure on the cutting blade, resulting in a
widening at the upper edge. To prevent this, loosen the screws (6) and slightly raise the blade guide (7).
The guide must be positioned so that after rotating the saw when it is not in contact with any material,
the plate (4) must not exert any downward pressure on the cutting blade when at rest. (There should be a
clearance of .004 (0.1 mm) with the blade.)
7.2. CHANGING THE GUIDE PLATES
Over time, the side plates (3) and the upper plate (4) may need to be replaced. To do so, follow the steps
indicated below:
1.
Loosen the screws (1) on both sides of the guide and remover the guide plates.
2.
Tap the plate (4) through the hole (5) until it comes out of its housing.
3.
Fit the upper plate and then the side plates (3).
4.
Adjust the lateral clearance of the plates, as explained in the previous section, ADJUSTMENT OF
CUTTING BELT GUIDES.
