this style of scoring blade, the kerf thickness is
adjusted by changing the height of the scoring
blade. raising the scoring blade higher increases
the kerf thickness.

main blade (not the teeth) and align the body
of the scoring blade to the main blade, by
turning the alignment control (figure 71) with
a 6mm hex wrench.
4. adjust the height of the scoring blade, by
turning the height control (figure 71) with a
6mm hex wrench, until the exposed portion
equals the kerf thickness of the main blade.
note: The easiest way to match the scor-
ing blade kerf is by laying a straightedge on
the table, and placing it up against the main
blade teeth and beyond the scoring blade,
then adjusting the scoring blade height until
its teeth align with the main blade teeth. Also
check on the other side of the blades to verify
that the kerf thickness matches and the scor-
ing blade is aligned with the main blade.

6.
move the blade cover back into its original
position next to the blades, then center the
sliding table.
7.
perform a test cut and check for chip out on
the underside of the test piece. if there is
chip out, make the adjustments necessary to
match the kerfs.
