DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM
THE MAINS SUPPLY!
1. Open the saw wheel door fully, giving good access to the top
compartment of the saw and good visibility into the bottom
compartment, see page 12. For tracking the blade first adjust
all bearing guides so that they’re well clear of the blade. Check
that the blade is sitting approximately in the middle of the
wheels, see fig 07.

2. Apply some tension to the blade by turning the tension-
ing knob clockwise, see fig 08 spin the top wheel by hand and
check that the blade remains centrally on the tyre, see fig 09. If
it does not, adjust the tracking by first loosening the locking
clamp and turning the tracking control knob to the rear of the
head box, see fig 10. Viewed directly onto the tracking control
wheel, turning clockwise should cause the blade to track to the
rear of the tyre; anti-clockwise to the front, DO NOT make large
adjustments).

3. Spin the top wheel again, check again. Continue until the
blade tracks in the centre of the tyres with no appreciable to
and fro movement. Tighten the tracking control lock up to lock
the setting. Tension the blade fully. A sideways push of about
