Blade Tracking

The blade tracking has been properly set at the factory. The tracking will rarely need to be adjusted if the bandsaw is used properly.

To adjust the blade tracking on the bandsaw:

1.UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!

2.Position the bandsaw in the vertical posi- tion.

3.Open the wheel access cover.

4.Loosen, but do not remove the lower hex bolt in the blade wheel tilting mechanism (Figure 49).

5.Relax the blade tension.

6.Adjust the set screw with a 4mm hex wrench shown in Figure 50, then tighten the hex bolt loosened in Step 4.

—Tightening the set screw will move the blade closer to the shoulder of the wheel.

—Loosening the set screw will move the blade away from the shoulder.

7.Tension the blade.

8.Reconnect the power and turn ON the bandsaw.

—If the blade tracks along the shoulder of the wheel (without rubbing), the blade is tracking properly and this adjustment is completed.

—If the blade walks away from the shoulder of the wheel or hits the shoulder, repeat Steps 4-7.

9.Replace the blade guard and wheel access cover.
