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.
