Lower Bearing Adjustments

Unplug the machine from power

source before making any adjustments! Blade

teeth are sharp - use care when working near

the saw blade. Failure to comply may cause

serious injury.

Note: Blade tension and tracking must be properly

adjusted prior to bearing guide setup. Refer to the

Blade Tension section (page 16).

1. Place the mode selection lever (J, Fig. 18) in

the Full Tension position.

Referring to Figure 23:

2. Loosen the thumb screw (B).

This will allow the thrust bearing (A) to move

freely and prevent interference with the saw

blade (C) during the following steps.

Guide Gearings Adjustment

3. Loosen the locking handle (D) then turn the

adjustment screw (E) to adjust the assembly

forward or backward until the front of the guide

bearings (F) rest just behind the gullet of the

blade teeth (C and inset).

4. Tighten the locking handle (D).

Thrust Bearing Adjustment

5. With the thumb screw still loose (from Step 1),

slide the thrust bearing and bearing post until

the space between the bearing (A) and the

back edge of the blade (C) is approximately

1/64”.

A convenient way to achieve this spacing is by

placing a dollar bill folded twice (four

thicknesses) between the blade and support

bearing – four thicknesses of a dollar bill is

approximately 1/64”.

6. Tighten the thumb screw (B).

7. Loosen the lock knob (G). Rotate the

adjustment handles (H) until the guide bearings

(F) rest lightly against the blade (C). Do not

force the guide bearings against the side of the

blade.

8. Tighten the lock knob (G).

Check to make sure the adjustments have not

changed and the bearing guides do not pinch the

blade.

Place the mode selection lever (J, Fig. 18) in the

Partial Tension position when the machine is not in

use.
