widely for the workpiece material.
2. Saw Blade turns too quickly.
3. Body Frame descends too lightly.
4. Saw Blade installed backwards.
5. Insufficient Saw Blade tension.
1. Check manual for recommended Blade type. See
page 20 and replace with appropriate Saw Blade.
2. Try next lower speed. See page 10.
3. Increase pressure by reducing spring
tension on side of Saw. See page 16.
4. Re-install Saw Blade properly.
5. Gradually increase Saw Blade tension until optimal
tension has been achieved. See page 16.
Blade cuts
crooked.
1. Vise is not square with Saw Blade.
2. Feed pressure is too great.
3. Guide Bearing is not adjusted
properly.
4. Insufficient Saw Blade tension.
5. Blade Guides are too far
from workpiece.
6. Saw Blade is dull.
7. Saw Blade turns too quickly
or too slowly for workpiece.
8. Saw Blade tracks too far away
from Wheel Flanges.
1. Adjust Vise so it is square with Blade.
Always clamp work tightly in Vise.
2. Reduce pressure by increasing spring
tension on side of Saw. See page 16.
3. Adjust Guide Bearing to 0.001" greater
than maximum thickness, including the
weld of the Saw. See page 14.
4. Gradually increase Saw Blade tension until optimal
tension has been achieved. See page 16.
5. Move Blade Guide as close to
workpiece as possible.
6. Replace Saw Blade. See page 20.
7. Check Manual for recommended
speeds. See page 10.
8. Adjust Saw Blade tracking. See page 15.
Blade cuts
rough.
1. Saw Blade turns too quickly.
2. Feed pressure is too heavy.
3. Saw Blade teeth are spaced too
widely for the workpiece material.
1. See page 10 for recommended speeds.
2. Reduce pressure by increasing spring
tension on side of Saw. See page 16.
3. Check manual for recommended Blade
type. See page 20 and replace with
more appropriate Saw Blade.
Blade twists.
1. Saw Blade is caught in
the workpiece cut.
2. Saw Blade tension is too high.
1. Reduce pressure by increasing spring
tension on side of Saw. See page 16.
2. Gradually adjust Saw Blade tension until optimal
tension has been achieved. See page 16.
Unusual wear
on side/back
of Blade.
1. Blade Guides are worn down.
2. Blade Guide Bearings
are out of place.
3. Blade Guide Bearing
Bracket is loose.
1. Replace Blade Guides. See page 16.
2. Adjust Blade Guide Bearings. See page 14.
3. Tighten Blade Guide Bearing Bracket.
