See Figure 9. |
|
Disconnect the machine from the |
|
power source before making any |

adjustments! |
|
IMPORTANT: Before tracking the blade, confirm that |
|
the blade guides and blade support bearings are clear |
|
of the blade. |
|
• After applying tension to the blade, open the upper |
|
wheel guard. |
|
• Rotate the wheel slowly forward by hand and observe |
|
the blade’s movement. It should travel in the center of |
|
the upper tire. |
|
• If the blade creeps toward the front edge, unlock the |
|
blade tracking lock (A) and turn the blade tracking |
|
knob (B) clockwise until the blade consistently tracks | Figure 9 |

|
• If the blade creeps towards the rear of the tire, adjust |
|
the blade tracking knob counterclockwise. |
|
• Lock the blade tracking lock and close and lock the |

INSERT THROAT PLATE
See Figure 10.
Disconnect the machine from the power source!
•Fit the throat plate (A) in the throat of the table so that the tab on the throat plate fits into the notch in table.
•Check to ensure the front of the throat plate is not higher than the table surface. To adjust the height of the throat plate, rotate the two set screws (B) either up or down
Figure 10
SQUARE TABLE TO BLADE
Disconnect the machine from the power source!
Place a carpenters square (A) against the front and back side of the blade and check the alignment of the table. If the table is out of square, refer to Figure 11 and proceed as follows:
•Raise the upper blade guide assembly by loosening the lock knob (B).
•Loosen the flange nut (C) on the lower trunnion using a 12MM open end wrench and adjust the set screw until the table is square with the blade from the front and back.
•Tighten the flange nut and use the square to confirm proper position of the table
•Check the pointer on the tilt scale, located on the lower trunnion, and reset if necessary to read 0°.
