1. Upper Blade Guide (Ref Fig. 10)
NOTE: The Guide Block Bracket (G), carries the Blade
Guide Bearings (A). These bearings provide side
support for the blade, and should run neatly on the
sides of the blade (as shown in fig 10), but not so far
forward as to come into contact with the blades’ teeth.
This adjustment must be the first to be checked. The
sequence of adjustment is as follows:
1.1 Lower the Upper Guide Block and Blade Guard
Assembly to its lowest position and check the
position of the Blade Guide Bearings as described
above. Slacken off the screw (F) if necesary,
allowing the guide block to move in or out as
required. Re-tighten the securing screw.
1.2 Slacken off the two screws (C), securing the Guide
Blocks (B), to the Guide Block Bracket (G), and
adjust each Blade Guide Bearing in turn so that
they lightly touch the sides of the blade.
Secure firmly in this position by re-tightening the
screws (C).
1.3 The Blade Guide Bearing (D), prevents the blade
from being pushed backwards, and protects it
from tooth damage.
Adjust carefully so that the blade runs smoothly
along the middle of the tyre, and lock the alignment
knob in place with the locknut on its threaded shaft.
(see fig. 9)
4. Before closing the door on the CBS14WC , ensure
the wire brush which is adjacent to the lower wheel,
is adjusted so that it lightly brushes the edge of the
wheel. This brush removes any saw dust from the
edge of the wheel, thereby preventing the blade from
being forced off course.
B. BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT.
NOTES:
In order to obtain satisfactory results, it is important
that the Blade Guide Adjustments are properly
maintained at all times. Before carrying out these
adjustments, the blade must be correctly tensioned,
and tracking properly, as described above.
When assembling the machine initially, it is advant-
ageous to carry out the blade guide adjustments, prior
to assembling the table, as the blade guides are far
more accessible at this stage.The procedure is as
follows:
Fig. 9
This bearing should be set 1/64” (0.04mm) behind
the blade, and is adjusted by slackening the grub
screw (E), positioning the bearing accordingly, and
re-tightening the grub screw using the Allen key
provided.

2.2 The Lower Guide bearings (A) should lightly touch
the sides of blade. Slacken off the securing screws
(L), and move each bearing in turn so that it just
touches the side of the blade. Re-tighten securing
screws (L)
2. Lower Blade Guides (Ref Fig 11)
2.1 Slacken off the grub screw (K), which secures
the Lower Guide Block (M), and move the Lower
Guide Block so that the bearings run neatly
alongside the blade, but not so far forward as to
come in contact with the blades teeth, as shown
in fig. 11.
