ADJUSTING THE FOLLOWER SIDE TRACKING
The follower side band wheel shaft is connected to an auto-tracking system. Once the tracking
is set, it maintains these settings even without a blade on the sawmill, allowing for quick and
simple blade/belt changes. The two (2) bolts at the rear of the follower shaft are used to adjust
the pitch angle of the band wheel to track the blade.
To move the blade
forward
—or
out
—on the band wheel, start with the right-hand bolt by
turning it
counter-clockwise
(
#1
) so that it moves
out
from the sawmill. Turn it
½
turn then snug
the left-hand bolt by turning it
clockwise
(
#2
) to fix the follower band wheel shaft in plate.
Alternatively, to move the blade
rearward
—or
in
—on the band wheel, start with the left-hand
bolt by turning it
counter-clockwise
(
#2
) so that it moves
in
towards the sawmill. Turn it
½
turn
then snug the right-hand bolt by turning it
clockwise
(
#1
) to fix the follower band wheel shaft in
plate.
A simple phrase to help remember which way to adjust the tracking bolts is:
IN is IN, and OUT
is OUT
. When the bolts move in towards the sawmill, the blade moves
in
. When the bolts
move out away from the sawmill, the blade moves
out
.
**Note that the band wheel angle shown in these graphics has been
exaggerated and some components have been removed for clarity.**
