ADJUSTING BLADE GUIDE
The blade may be supported from the rear and held in
line to prevent excessive bending while cutting, Accu-
ratework and minimum bladebreakage, especially with
thin blades, depends on proper adjustment ofthe blade
guide.
The socket head screw holds the blade guide to the
blade guide bracket. The guide should be adjusted
forward until the 'V'-slot barely touches the rear edge oi
the blade with 'C'-Arm in its top position. Then tighten
screw. The blade should not rub inthe slot while run ning
free. Excessive friction work hardens the back edge of
the blade and reduces blade life. Pressure on the work
will push the blade back against the guide while cutting,
ADJUSTING WORK HOLD-DOWN FOOT
The purpose of the work hold-down foot is to hold the
work against the table sothat it is less likelyto liftwith the
up stroke of the blade. It should lie flat on the work with
the front prongs straddling the blade.
The work hold-down foot is attached to the blade guide
bracket. The height of the work hold-down foot is
adjusted by loosening the work hold-down knob and
moving the guide post up or down.
When the table is tilted, the work hold-down foot can be
adjusted by loosening the screw and adjusting the foot
to the same angle as the table. The work hold-down foot
should always be adjusted as close to the work as
possible,
