Tracking The Blade
1.
Make sure the blade housing covers are closed and all persons are clear of the open side
of the saw head.
2.
Start the engine (or motor).
3.
Engage the blade, rotating the blade until the blade positions itself on the wheels.
WARNING!
Do not spin the blade wheels by hand. Spinning the blade
wheels by hand may result in serious injury.
4.
Disengage the blade. Turn off the engine, remove the key and check the position of the
blade on the blade wheels.
See Figure 3-23.
Position 1 1/4” wide blades so the gullet is 1/8" (3.0 mm) out from the
edge of the blade wheel (±1/16 [1.5 mm]). Position 1 1/2” blades so the gullet is 3/16”
(4.5 mm) out from the edge of the blade wheel (±1/16 [1.5 mm]).
