3.With the blade installed and properly tensioned, hold a straightedge close to the center of both wheels. Make sure the straightedge fully extends across the wheels, as shown in Figure 61 on the previous page.

—If the wheels are coplanar (see Figure 62, "A"), the straightedge will evenly touch the top and bottom of both wheels.

—If the wheels are not coplanar (see Figure 62, "B"), place the straightedge on the lower wheel first (ensuring that it touches both the top and bottom rim), then adjust the upper wheel tracking knob to make the upper wheel coplanar with the lower wheel.

—If the wheels are coplanar (parallel with each other), but the straightedge does not touch the rims of both wheels (see Figure 62, "C"), then shim the wheels as instructed on the next page.
