3.Study the written measurements on your test piece. Note—DO NOT place too much importance on the first and last six inches of the board, because the board will only have been under one pressure roller during that part of the cut.

—If the measurements are more than 0.030" different from one side to the other, you should adjust the conveyor table.

To adjust the conveyor table:

1.Disconnect the resaw from the power source!

2.Use your test board to determine which direction the conveyor table needs to be moved. For example, if the right side of the board was thicker than the left side—you will need to move either the right side of the conveyor up or move the left side of the con- veyor down.

3.Adjust the four adjustment bolts that control the conveyor table height as determined from Step 2. Note—For adjustment bolt locations see the adjustment bolt shown in Figure 39.

4.Tighten the lock nuts on the adjustment bolts, connect the resaw to the power, and repeat the checking and adjusting Steps until the measurements on your cut piece are within 0.030".

Tracking Conveyors

“Tracking” the conveyor belts means balancing the way they ride on the end rollers. The convey- ors are tracking correctly when they are centered between the roller brackets on each side of the conveyor. If the conveyor belts start rubbing against the roller brackets, then you need to track them as described.

To set the conveyor tracking:

1.Loosen the two roller bracket cap screws (shown in Figure 40) about 3⁄4 of a turn. Do this on the both sides of the conveyor.

2.Loosen the rear adjustment nuts away from the bracket plates on both sides of the con- veyor.

3.Start the conveyor belt.

4.On the side that the belt tracks toward, turn the front adjustment nut counter-clockwise half of a turn, and watch the belt tracking. Note—The effect of the adjustment can sometimes take two minutes before the results are fully apparent.

—If the tracking was not corrected by this adjustment, proceed to Step 5. If the tracking was corrected, skip to Step 6.
