3.Turn the bandsaw ON. Keep the saw frame locked in the starting position.

4.While watching the space between the blade and wheel flange, turn the set screw coun- terclockwise. This will move the blade away from the flange. As soon as the blade begins to move away from the flange, turn the set screw as necessary to stabilize the blade approximately 1⁄8" from the flange.

5.Slowly turn the set screw clockwise to move the blade back towards the flange. When the blade is running up against, but not touching the flange, turn the set screw as necessary to stabilize the blade tracking.

6.Turn the bandsaw OFF.

7.Tighten the cap screws, then recheck the blade tracking. If the tracking needs further adjustment, repeat Steps 4-7until the track- ing is correct.

9.Close the upper wheel cover.

Note: For the best performance from your saw, regularly maintain proper blade tracking.

The Model G0659 has four blade speeds. These speeds are determined by the position of the V-belt in one of the four available pulley grooves. Refer to the chart below or on the saw frame base for blade speeds and their respective belt posi- tions (Figure 44).
