Grizzly G0514 owner manual Shimming Upper Wheel, 8deaVcVg Cdi8deaVcVg

—If the wheels are coplanar (Figure 1, A), the straightedge will evenly touch the top and bottom of both wheels.

—If the wheels are not coplanar (Figure 1, B), place the straightedge on the lower wheel first (ensuring that it touches both the top and bottom rim), then adjust the upper wheel tracking knob to make the upper wheel coplanar and parallel with the lower wheel.

—If the straightedge does not touch both wheels evenly, the lower wheel needs to be adjusted (Figure 1, C) or the upper wheel needs to be shimmed (Figure 1, D).

Shimming Upper Wheel

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Make sure the top wheel is adjusted parallel with the bottom wheel.

3.With a straightedge touching both points of the wheel that does not need to be adjusted, measure the distance away from the wheel that is out of adjustment (see Figure 2).

4.Remove the blade from the saw, then remove the wheel that needs to be shimmed.

5.Determine how many shim washers you need to compensate for the distance measured in Step 3 and place them on the wheel shaft.

6.Replace the wheel, the original washers, the securing screw, and the blade.

7.Tighten the blade, then check the wheels with the coplanarity gauge. (Wheel coplanarity changes as the blade is tightened, so it is best to check the wheel alignment when the blade is tensioned as it would be for normal operations.)

8.When the wheels are coplanar, place a mark on each wheel where you held the straight- edge. This assures repeated accuracy every time you adjust your wheels.

Note: When wheels are properly coplanar, the blade may not be centered on the crown of the wheel, but it will be balanced.
