Tensioning and tracking the blade

Make sure both top and bottom blade guide
 are well clear of the blade. 

Open the front covers fully, giving good access to
the top compartment of the saw and good visibility 
into the bottom compartment, see page 13. For 
tracking the blade first adjust all bearing guides so 
that they’re well clear of the blade. Check that the 
blade is sitting approximately in the middle of the 
wheels, see fig 12. 

Apply some tension to the blade by turning the 
tensioning wheel clockwise. Spin the top wheel by 
hand, and check that the blade remains centrally on 
the tyre, see fig 13. If it does not, loosen the tracking 
control lock and adjust the tracking by turning the 
tracking control at the rear of the upper saw wheel 
compartment, see fig 14. Viewed directly onto the 
tracking control wheel, turning clockwise should 
cause the blade to track to the rear of the tyre, 
anti-clockwise to the front (DO NOT make large 
adjustments).

Spin the top wheel again, check again. Continue
until the blade tracks in the centre of the tyres with 
no appreciable to and fro movement. Tension the 
blade fully. A sideways push on the blade should 
allow a maximum of 1 centimetre of movement
with moderate pressure on the blade. Check the 
tracking again, adjust if necessary. 

Connect the power to the machine. Stand clear and 
start the saw, check that the saw is running smoothly, 
(no thumps, bumps,knocking or excessive vibration) 
and the blade appears to be tracking correctly (in 
one place). You can check this by holding a marker 
e.g. a pencil, close to the back of the blade (approach 
from the back of the blade only) and check that the 
gap remains constant. If it doesn’t, adjust the tracking 
until it does. If you adjust the tracking with the saw  
running, make very small adjustments and wait for 
the saw to react before you adjust again, sometimes 
the reaction is not instantaneous.  Once you are 
satisfied that the tracking is correct switch the 
machine off and allow it to run to a stop. Retighten 
the tracking control lock.
