Blade Tracking Adjustment
Blade tracking has been set at the factory and should require no adjustment. If a tracking
problem occurs, adjust the machine as follows:
1. Disconnect machine from the power source.
2. Raise saw bow to its highest position and
turn the descent ON/OFF valve to the OFF
position to hold saw bow in place.
3. Locate tracking adjustment plate on the back
side of the blade idler wheel.
4. Loosen the three bolts (A) located on the top
of the tracking nuts.
5. Tracking adjustment is accomplished by
either loosening or tightening three adjusting
nuts (B).
6. Tracking is set properly when the back of the blade lightly touches the wheel flange.
Note: Over-tracking (allowing blade back to rub hard against wheel flange) will
damage the blade wheels and blade.
7. Tighten locking bolts (A) once properly tracking is completed.
8. Connect machine to the power source.
CAUTION:
Since tracking can only be adjusted while machine is running,
it is suggested that this adjustment be accomplished by qualified personnel that are
familiar with this type of adjustment and the dangers associated with it.
