8. Slide the blade on the wheels so the back edge of the blade is approximately
1/32" from the back flange of the wheel. Check the teeth on the portion of the
blade between the upper and lower blade guides to see that they point down
toward the table.
9. Work the blade around the blade brush (E) and onto the lower bladewheel.
10. Turn the tension knob (B) enough to raise the upper wheel and apply tension to
the blade to help prevent the blade from falling off the wheels.
11. Adjust blade brush.
12. Tension the blade by turning the tension handle counterclockwise.
(Recommended blade tension is 1400
– 1600 kgs/cm2) Before proceeding,
make sure all guards and covers are in place and secured.
13. Turn the feed force to "O". Push the start button on control panel and let the
blade spin several times around the blade wheels.
14. Push the stop button on the control panel. Check to see if the back edge of the
blade has maintained an approximate 1/32" gap from the flange on the back of
blade wheels. If the blade rides against the flange or is more than 1/32" away
from the flange, adjust the lower wheel tilt angle.
15. Once the blade has been installed, tensioned and tracked properly on the wheels, close the
upper and lower covers.
16. Lock the clamps and secure all guards in place.
17. Start and run the blade under no load for one minute to allow the blade to track verify that it
is properly positioned in the guides and guards.
18. Stop the saw and either power the machine off or return the machine to service.
Blade Tracking Adjustment
Typically, the blade should track with the back edge of
the blade maintaining an approximate 1/32" gap from
the flange on the back of blade wheels.
1. Loosen the three hex head mounting bolts on the
back side of the lower wheel housing 1 to 1-1/2
turns.
2. Adjust the set screw to change the tracking of the
blade.
3. When the tracking is correct, evenly tighten the three
hex head screws.
4. Check the tracking again.
