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 jam nuts on the lower wheel adjustment hub (see Figure 77).

3.Loosen one tilt adjustment bolt, then tighten the opposing bolt approximately an equal amount.

4.Check the wheels with the coplanarity gauge, then adjust the lower wheel at the hub as needed until it is parallel and coplanar with the top wheel.

5.Tighten the jam nuts to lock the tilt adjustment bolts in position.
