BLADE TRACKING (Fig. I)

WARNING

To avoid injury, turn the switch OFF and disconnect the saw from the power source before making any adjustments.

Be very careful; improperly tracked blade may spring out from wheels causing serious injury. Do not perform tracking adjustment while band saw is running.

1.Open body door.

2.To check the blade tracking, rotate drive wheel by hand in clockwise direction.

3.Proper tracking is achieved when drive and idler wheels are aligned. Tracking plate (1) on the back of the tool frame is used to tilt upper idler wheel and align all three blade wheels.

4.Loosen up hex nut (2).

5.Loosen up socket head bolts (3). There are four socket head bolts holding tracking plate. Bottom socket head bolts should be loosened just enough to allow tilting of the plate. If the bottom socket head bolt is loosened too much, the plate will not tilt.

6.Using set screws, (4) tilt the plate in vertical (up and down) plane until proper tracking is achieved. Upper idler blade wheel tilts in the same direction as tracking plate.

•If blade rides away from cabinet, increase gap between tracking plate and cabinet wall. If the blade rides into cabinet, decrease the gap.

•When blade is tracking properly, tighten up hex nut and all four socket head bolts.

English

•Properly tracked blade should ride at the center position on all three wheels (drive and idlers).
