Problem:
Saw fits guide too loose or too tight.
Solution:
Insert saw through the guides with the stiff back of your
saw above top rollers. Loosen slightly four screws and
2 bolts. Turn both saw guide assemblies until saw wob-
ble is eliminated. Hold guide assemblies in this position
while tightening screws and bolts. The saw then should
guide easily and smoothly. Clearance between the saw
and rollers should be about the thickness of one sheet
of newspaper. Adjust depth stops (illustration ) so saw
teeth do not touch the base.
