Blade Guide Arm Alignment
The blade guide arm moves the outer blade guide in and out. If the arm becomes loose, the blade guide will
not deflect the blade properly, causing inaccurate cuts. A loose blade guide arm can also cause blade
vibration.
1.
Adjust the blade guide arm in to 1/2" (15 mm) from fully closed.
2.
Manually try to move the arm up and down. If you can move the arm by hand, you will need to tighten the
arm rollers.
See Figure 5-24.
Loosen the jam nuts and turn the adjustment bolts in to tighten the blade guide arm rollers.
Retighten the jam nuts. After tightening the blade guide arm rollers, check that the arm is aligned properly.
3.
With the arm adjusted 1/2" (15 mm) from fully closed, measure the distance between the rear blade guide
roller and the back of the blade.
