SAWMILL ALIGNMENT
Blade Installation And Tracking
1.
Remove the blade and replace the blade wheel belts. New blade wheel belts are required
to perform the complete alignment procedure.
2.
Blow sawdust off of the blade guide assemblies. Remove sawdust from the blade
housings. Scrape any sawdust buildup from the blade wheel rims.
3.
Remove the blade guide assemblies and the blade.
NOTE:
To remove the blade guide assemblies and
maintain the tilt adjustments, only loosen one side screw
and the top screw. Leaving the other side screw and bottom
screw in position will insure you will return the rollers to their
original tilt adjustment.

Adjust the outer blade guide arm in or out until the outer blade guide is approximately 24”
(61 cm) from the inner blade guide
5.
Install a new blade and apply the appropriate tension (
).
6.
Turn the key switch to the "M" position.
7.
Manually spin one of the blade wheels until the blade positions itself on the wheels.
DANGER!
Always shut off the sawmill motor before
replacing the blade. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury.
WARNING!
Always wear gloves and eye protection when
handling bandsaw blades. Changing blades is safest when
done by one person! Keep all other persons away from
area when coiling, carrying or changing a blade. Failure to
do so may result in serious injury.
