To Adjust Blade Guide Support:

n Remove the blade guard by removing the two phillips

screws that secure it in place.

n Adjust the position of the blade guide assembly. Loosen

the bottom screw on the right side of the blade guide

assembly using the 3 mm hex key.

n Slide the upper blade guide support on the shaft until

the front edge of the blade guides are about 1/64 in. (0.4

mm) behind the gullet of the blade. Tighten the screw

securely. Repeat this procedure for the lower blade guide

support.

n Replace the blade guard if no additional adjustments are

to be made.

To Adjust Blade Guides:

The blade guides help keep the blade from twisting and

binding. The blade will be ruined if the blade teeth hit the

blade guides while using the band saw. The set of teeth and

the sharpened edge of teeth will be damaged by hitting the

blade guides. Proper adjustment of the upper and lower

blade guides will prevent this from happening.

n Remove the blade guard by loosening the two phillips

screws.

n Loosen the two blade guide support screws that lock the

upper blade guides. Rotate the blade guide shafts with

a screwdriver to move the bearings closer or away from

the blade. The blade guide shafts should just barely touch

the blade. Do not pinch the blade. Make sure one guide is

not further away from the blade than the other. Retighten

the two blade guide support screws securely.

n Replace the blade guard if no additional adjustments are

to be made.

n Repeat this procedure on the lower blade guides located

under the saw table.

NOTE: The lower blade guide support screw is the top screw

located on the right of the saw housing under the table.

WARNING:

Never operate saw without blade guard secured in

place. To do so could result in possible serious personal

injury.
