To adjust the blade guides:
1. Make sure the blade is oiled, tensioned, and
tracking correctly.
2. DISCONNECT THE BANDSAW FROM
POWER!
3. Raise and lock the bow in place and slide the
guides together as close as you can and lock
into place.
4. Remove the two Phillips head screws and the
blade guide guard, (see Figure 43).
The blade guides have a basic factory adjust-
ment, but due to shipping and storage we recom-
mend that you readjust the blade guides yourself
to ensure the cuts will to be your standards.
Blade Guides
(G0614)
Tip: There should be no gap between the
blade and the bearings or the carbide blade
guides. To set the clearance without fighting
blade twist, remove the blade guides, and
set this clearance to the blade thickness and
then reinstall the blade guides.

CUTTING HAZARD!

Note: To access the cap screws on the
other blade guide, you must remove the two
Phillips head screws (

the limit switch and its bracket out of the
way.
