7.Tighten the blade, then check the wheels. (Coplanar wheels may pull out of alignment when the blade is tightened.)

8.When the wheels are coplanar, place a mark on each wheel where you held the straightedge. 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.

Adjusting Lower Wheel

Only do this procedure if you cannot make the wheels coplanar with the tracking knob or by shimming the upper wheel. Make sure the upper wheel is adjusted as close as possible to being coplanar with the lower wheel before beginning. Do this procedure with the blade fully ten- sioned.

To adjust the lower wheel, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Loosen the four hex bolts on the lower wheel adjust- ment hub (Figure 57).

3.Rotate the wheel adjustment sleeves to tilt the lower wheel as necessary to make it coplanar with the upper wheel.

4.Tighten the hex bolts to lock the wheel adjustment sleeves in position.
