If the proper blade tracking cannot be accom- plished by adjusting the tracking as outlined on Page 29, the wheels must be checked for coplanarity and
To check if the wheels are parallel and copla- nar:
1.Make the "Coplanarity Gauge" shown in
Figure 54.
Note: For best results, straighten the 2x4 with a jointer before cutting.
2.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3.Move the saw frame to its rearmost position. Open the upper wheel cover.
4.Place your coplanarity gauge up against both wheels in the position shown in Figure 55, making sure that the gauge fully extends across the wheels.
