1. Mark the mounting bolt center line on the support beam.
2. The guidebar must be straight within 0.010" (0.25mm) on a rigid
and vibration free support.
Note: The guidebar mounting bolt holes are pre-drilled—if applicable.
A = 12" (304.80mm), standard.

3. Measure the center to center distances between the mounting bolt holes (A) on the
guidebar and the overall length of the guidebar (B).
Note: Leave enough free space—2" (50.80mm) on each end of the
support beam for knifeholder removal.
4. Transfer the dimension (A) on the marked centerline (from step 1)
on the support beam.
5. Center punch the mounting bolt pattern on the marked line.
6. Drill and tap the support beam for the mounting bolts.
7. Clamp the guidebar in place on the support beam.
8. Work from one end to the other installing the bolts until the guidebar
is securely fastened to the support beam.
