ADJUSTING
LOWER BLADE GUIDES
AND BLADE SUPPORT
BEARING
Disconnect
machine
from
power
Source.
The lower
blade guides
and blade support
bearing
should be adjusted at the same time as the upper guides
and support bearings as follows:
1.
Loosen two screws (A) Fig. 29, and move guides
(B) as close as possible to the sides of the blade.
Be careful not to pinch the blade. Tighten the two
screws (A). NOTE: In Fig. 29, the table has been
removed for clarity.
2.
The front edge of the blade guides (B) Fig. 29 should
be adjusted so they are just behind the "gullets" of
the blade teeth. Loosen screw (C), and move the
assembly (D) in or out as necessary. Tighten screw
(C).
3.
The lower
blade support
thrust
bearing
(E) Fig.
29 prevents
the saw blade from being
pushed
back too far during cutting.
The support
bearing
should
be adjusted
approximately
1/32" behind
the blade. Loosen screw (F) Fig. 29, and move the
bearing shaft (G) in or out as necessary. Tighten
screw (F).
4.
The lower blade support bearing (E) Fig. 29 should
also be adjusted
so that the blade overlaps
the
outside diameter of the ball bearing by approximately
1/8". The blade support
bearing (E) is set on an
eccentric shaft.To change the position of the bearing
(E), loosen the screw (F) Fig. 29 and rotate the shaft
(G) Fig 30 until the blade properly
overlaps
the
support bearing. Tighten screw (F) Fig. 29.

TILTING THE TABLE
The table can be tilted 45 degrees to the right. To tilt the
table, loosen lock handle (A) Fig. 31 and turn knob (B)
clockwise until desired angle is established. Then tighten

repositioned by pulling out on the handle and reposition-
ing it on the nut located underneath the hub of the han-
dle. A scale (C) and pointer (D) are provided to indicate
the degree of tilt.
