NOTE: This blade support bearing prevents the blade
from moving back too far and damaging the saw teeth
setting.
12. Check the lateral position of the support bearing (8).
The vertical back edge of the blade (3) should
overlap the front face of the support bearing 1/16
in.(1.6 mm) to 1/8 in.(3.2 mm) to the left of the right
bearing edge, as shown.

WARNING
!
To avoid injury, turn the switch OFF and disconnect the
saw from the power source before making any
adjustments. NEVER make adjustments with the
machine running.
NOTE: Make sure the blade is tensioned and tracking
properly. The lower blade guides and support bearings
should always be adjusted after the blade is tensioned,
the tracking is adjusted, and the upper blade guides and
upper support bearings are properly adjusted.
Blade guides
1. Loosen both front hex socket screws (1) with a hex
wrench.
2. Move the guide blocks (2) as close to the sides of the
blade (3) as possible without pinching it.
3. Using the feeler gauge, measure the spaces
between the guide blocks and the blade.
Adjust to 0.002 in. (0.05 mm).
4. Tighten the hex socket screws. (Fig. Q)
