The blade guides provide side-to-side support to
help keep the blade straight while cutting. The
blade guides adjust in two ways—forward/back-
ward and side-to-side. Properly adjusted blade
guides are essential to making accurate cuts.
To adjust the upper and lower blade guides:
1. Make sure the blade tracks properly and is
correctly tensioned.
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3. Familiarize yourself with the blade guide con-
trols shown in Figure 24.
4. Loosen the lateral adjustment thumbscrew.
5. Slide the guide assembly so the front edges
of the blade guides are just behind the blade
gullets as illustrated in
Figure 25.
6. Tighten the lateral adjustment thumbscrew.
7. Loosen the blade guide thumbscrews.
8. Fold a crisp dollar bill in half and place it over
the blade (between the blade guides and the
blade), as shown in
Figure 26.
