ADJUSTING LOWER BLADE GUIDES
AND BLADE SUPPORT BEARING
Fig. 23 Fig. 24
The lower blade guides and blade support bearing
should be adjusted at the same time as the upper guides
and bearing as follows:
1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER
SOURCE.
2. Loosen screw (A) Fig. 23, and move the guide
bracket (B) in or out until the front edge of the guides (C)
are just behind the blade “gullets” (bottom of saw teeth)
while making sure the guides are flat with the blade then
tighten screw (A).
3. The lower blade guides are held in the guide bracket
with set screws (D) Fig. 24. Loosen set screws (D) and
adjust blade guides as close as possible to the sides of
the saw blade, being careful not to pinch the saw blade.
Then tighten set screws (D).
4. The lower blade support bearing (E) Fig. 24, prevents
the blade from being pushed back too far while cutting
which could damage the set in the saw teeth. The lower
support bearing (E) should be adjusted approximately
1/64" behind the blade by loosening set screw (F) and
moving the support bearing in or out. When adjusted,
tighten set screw (F).
