Blade Changes
7. Retension the blade (refer to Tensioning &
Tracking Blade on Page 23).
8. Rotate the top wheel clockwise by hand
several times to make sure the blade tracks
evenly without wandering across the wheel
surface.
Note: If the blade wanders across the wheel
and away from the flange, the blade tracking
alignment may need to be adjusted. Refer
to
Tracking Blade on Page 23 for detailed
instructions.
9. Adjust the upper and lower blade guides (refer
to Adjusting Blade Guide Assemblies on
Page 25).
10. Re-install the blade guard.
Note: Ensure the blade guard does not con-
tact upper wheel or blade.

doors.
Note: Excessive blade contact with the wheel
flange during operation could lead to blade
and wheel damage.
