Adjusting The Blade Tracking:

1. Raise the Saw Head to its full vertical position, making sure it locks in position by

turning the Hydraulic Cylinder (20) to its “OFF” position. (See Figure O.)

2. Turn on the Bandsaw. The Saw Blade (127) is tracking properly when the back of

the Blade is just touching the edge of the Wheel (175) ﬂange.

(See Figure R, next page.)

3. If adjustment is necessary, the Blade Guide Bearings (133) should be clear of the

Saw Blade (124). (See Figure Q.)

4. Loosen the upper Screw (168) to a point where it is loose but snug.

(See Figure R.)

5. With the Bandsaw running, turn the Adjusting Screw (168) until the Saw Blade

(127) is tracking properly, making sure Blade tension is maintained by turning the

Blade Tension Knob (181). (See Figure R, next page.)

6. Make sure to retighten the upper Screw (168) when adjustment is complete.

(See Figure R.)

NOTE: There should be from .000” (just touching) to .001” clearance between the

Saw Blade and Blade Guide Bearings (133). To obtain this clearance adjust as

follows:

A. The Outer Blade Guide Bearings (133) are mounted to Eccentric Shafts (136)

and can be adjusted. (See Figure Q.)

B. Loosen the Nut (137) while holding the Eccentric Shaft (136) with an Allen

wrench (not included). (See Figure Q.)

C. Position the Eccentric Shaft (136) by turning it to the desired position of clear-

ance. Then, retighten the Nut (137). (See Figure Q.)

D. Adjust the second Blade Guide Bearing (133) in the same manner.

*Screw (140) along with Screw (161) are used to adjust the vertical align-

ment of the Saw Blade (127). This alignment is set at the factory and

will not normally need adjustment. If adjustment is needed, however,

these two Screws (140,161) can be loosened, the Blade Adjusting Seats

(134, 143) brought into perpendicular alignment with the Table (39), and

the Screws retightened.
