The upper blade consists of a thrust bearing that supports the band saw blade from
the rear and two guide bearings that provide lateral adjustment. These guide bear-
ings need to be adjusted after every band saw change or any tracking adjustment.
The upper blade guide protects against unintentional contact with the saw blade.
For the upper blade guide to provide adequate protection against contact with the
band saw blade, it must always be set as close as possible against the work piece
(maximum distance 1/8 inch).
