How do I adjust the blade? Mine came out of square and the instructions a terrible for explaining which hex bolt tilts the blade.

It's a great saw, but a delicate piece of machinery. .that happened to mine, I sent it back to get repaired. They fixed it.

Make sure you are centered on the arbor. I had this issue as well at first, but the blade was off center.

I'm assuming that you're lifting the long black lever located on the back side of the blade shroud (I've been teaching the basics of power tools to a few dads that never owned one before). If it seems soft to the touch when you move it to an upward vertical position to adjust the blade depth, but the shoe fails to move, the lever has either come loose and backed off of the nut that tightens the depth adjustment. or it has been rounded out during assembly from being over-tightened. Other than that, this is the best explanation I can give you based on my ownership and experience of this same model. And I've had mine for over 7 years.

I searched around the internet to find the answer. To loosen the bevel clamp lever (the black plastic handle on the back for tilting the saw left and right) you need to turn the handle clockwise, the opposite of a regular screw, and also opposite of what the manual indicates. Hope that helps.

Blade changes are easy using the quick release lever. I usually set the tension before installing the blade then tighten it with the lever. One thing about that is that the machine I bought had a mylar overlay on top of the original tension index marks? I actually removed that and I use the original marks with some slight adjustments according to the feel of the blade tension.Upper and lower blade guides and thrust bearing alignment is easy. I get the blade tracking correctly first then put the guides just behind the teeth and the thrust bearing ~1/128" behind the blade. So far no problem with them.

I had no instructions. I uses some scrap wood and adjusted the drill setting until I had what I wanted. You may be able to find some information from the manufacturer on line.

I haven't used mine enough to warrant changing the blade. I really don't have an answer to your question. Sorry.

I beleave you are talking about the blade tilit 0 to 45 degrees. You must back off the lock nut to operate it, ( black lever in center of larger nob ) check and make sure the blade is not binding on the guard or kick back. Follow instruction manual to calibrate the degree setting.

You take that grey cover off (snaps) on the side and there is a metric allen head screw that you loosen to change the blade. Use a piece of scrap wood under the teeth of the blade to hold it from turning while you loosen/tighten the screw.

The one I got needed adjusting. I suggest that you loosen the bolts. Start with a 1/8 or 1/4 turn until the joint moves. You do not want it to move freely, the friction is what will keep it where you want. You may need to also use a little WD-40 spray lubricant. Just do not over use.

Use the standard blade that the Gtx model comes equipped with and adjust it to your liking. Search youtube for tutorial Gtx clipper adjustment

once you have it set, pivot is tightened with a bolt (wrench provided), you make it as tight as you want. Sloppy to no movement. I have mine set to very hard to move so I can still adjust it some without loosening bolt. To raise or lower some (minor adjustment) there is a screw at top, and the left right slider bar is with a knob but still no movement if wanted

Hold the pruner with both hands such that the saw is on your left, hold each part of the black plastic locking mechanism with both hands and rotate counter-clockwise your right hand, and clockwise your left hand. It will loosen to allow you to adjust to your desired length.

I was not able to loosen the nut or screw. I would recommend just purchasing the blade assembly.

You are correct, but the spring is shown in the wrong position. You need to open the handles all the way up, then rotate the spring so that it fits in close the cutting head. That way the spring back action works!

It is very tricky...but just set it on the edge with the little connections on back in place. You may have to check it at times. Once it is in place, you can then replace the blade. Also, make sure the one end of the brush is at the end (left end)...this will help align it in place better.

Hi Zack, To adjust the grind, unscrew the nut at the very top of the handle. Lift off the handle and you will see a tabbed washer that fits into a slotted retainer below it. Lift it until the tab is no longer in the adjustment slots below and turn it either counter clockwise, for a larger grind, or clock wise for finer, and drop it back into one of the slots in the retainer. Replace the handle and nut and test the grind. It's pretty responsive and you will notice a difference from as little as two or three notches in either direction. Keep tweaking until you get your desired grind. Hope this helps, Moses
