3.Study the written measurements on your test piece.
—If the measurements are more than 0.030" different from one side to the other, you should adjust the conveyor table.
To adjust the conveyor table:
1.Disconnect the resaw from the power source!
2.Use your test board to determine which direction the conveyor table needs to be moved. For example, if the right side of the board was thicker than the left
3.Adjust the four adjustment bolts that control the conveyor table height as determined from Step 2.
Figure 39. Conveyor table adjustment bolts
(1 of 4 shown).
4.Tighten the lock nuts on the adjustment bolts, connect the resaw to the power, and repeat the checking and adjusting Steps until the measurements on your cut piece are within 0.030".
Tracking Conveyors
“Tracking” the conveyor belts means balancing the way they ride on the end rollers. The convey- ors are tracking correctly when they are centered between the roller brackets on each side of the conveyor. If the conveyor belts start rubbing against the roller brackets, then you need to track them as described.
To set the conveyor tracking:
1.Loosen the two roller bracket cap screws (shown in Figure 40) about 3⁄4 of a turn. Do this on the both sides of the conveyor.

Front Adjustment Nut
Rear Adjustment Nut

adjustment nuts.
2.Loosen the rear adjustment nuts away from the bracket plates on both sides of the con- veyor.
3.Start the conveyor belt.
4.On the side that the belt tracks toward, turn the front adjustment nut counter-clockwise half of a turn, and watch the belt tracking. Note—The effect of the adjustment can sometimes take two minutes before the results are fully apparent.
—If the tracking was not corrected by this adjustment, proceed to Step 5. If the tracking was corrected, skip to Step 6.
