RIKON Power Tools 10-315 - Manual (Page 12)

Lower Guides:
a. To adjust the lower blade guides, first loosen
the lock nut (A-Fig.14) then move the guide
carrier by the micro-adjusting knob (E-Fig.14)
until both bearing guides are approximately 1/16”
behind the gullets of the Bandsaw blade and
tighten the lock nut (A-Fig.14).
b. Next set the bearing guides to within 1/32” of
the blade by releasing the guide adjusting screw
(B-Fig. 14).
c. Adjust the thrust bearing to be just clear of
the back of the blade by unlocking the guide
adjusting screw (C-Fig.14), and turning the micro-
adjusting knob (D-Fig.14).
d. When the correct adjustments are reached,
lock the bearing guides in position with the guide
adjusting screws (B&C-Fig.14).

b. Set both bearing guides to within 1/32” of
the saw blade by releasing the guide adjusting
screws (B-Fig.12) on each side of the saw blade,
then by turning the micro-adjusting knobs(C-
Fig.12). Do not set the bearing guides too close
as this will adversely affect the life of the saw
blade.
c. Adjust the rear bearing guide to be just clear
of the back of the saw blade releasing the guide
adjusting screw (A-Fig.13) and by turning the
micro-adjusting knob (B-Fig.13).

lock the bearing guide in position with the guide
adjusting screw (A-Fig.13).
