M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw
SERVICE
• If the blade tracking cannot be adjusted with
this procedure, the wheel must be re-aligned.
Go to Step 6 and complete the procedure.
Otherwise, this procedure is complete.
6. With the bandsaw unplugged, loosen the set screw,
and back it out as far as it will go without it falling
out.
7. Use a 12mm wrench and tighten the hex bolts until
they are almost snug, but still loose enough so you
can still turn the flat washers with your fingers.
8. Turn the set screw in until it bottoms out, then turn
it an additional 1/2 turn.
9. Start the bandsaw, and observe the tracking.
• If the tracking is correct, the rear of the blade
should be just touching the wheel flange or
wheel shoulder. Unplug the saw and reinstall
and adjust the blade guides and close the blade
guard.
• If there is a gap between the wheel shoulder
or the blade is riding on top of the shoulder,
repeat the adjustment as required to get the
correct tracking.
