bly is perpendicular with the face of the sup-
port bearing as illustrated in Figure 28.
—If the guide block assembly is perpen-
dicular to the face of the support bearing,
continue on to the next step.
—If the guide block assembly is not per-
pendicular to the support bearing, loosen
the guide block assembly cap screws and
rotate the blade guide assembly side-to-
side until the blade is perpendicular with
the face of the support bearing, then re-
tighten the cap screws. Note: The table
must be re-aligned with the blade after the
lower guide block assembly is adjusted.

help keep the blade straight while cutting. The
blade guides are designed to be adjusted in two
ways—forward/backward and side-to-side.
To adjust the upper and lower blade guides:

Make sure the blade is tracking properly and
that it is correctly tensioned.
