SETTING UP THE SAW
20
Open the front covers fully, giving good access to the
top compartment of the saw and good visibility into
the bottom compartment (see page 16). 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 48-49.
Apply some tension to the blade by turning the
tensioning wheel clockwise, spin the top wheel by hand
and check that the blade remains centrally on the tyre,
see fig 50. If it does not, adjust the tracking by turning
the tracking control at the rear of the head box, see fig 51.
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).
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. Push the tracking control lock up to
lock the setting. Tension the blade fully. A sideways push
of about 7-8 lbs( 3+kgs) in the middle of the blade should
allow a 1/4” (6.5mm)distension. Check the tracking again,
adjust if necessary. Check that the drive belt is tensioned
correctly. If it is slack, apply ‘take up’ pressure to the belt by
loosening the motor locking handle and pushing down
the motor until the belt is under tension then re-tighten
the handle to lock the motor in position, see fig 52.
Connect the power to the machine. Stand clear and start
the saw. Check that the saw is running smoothly, (no
thumps, bumps, knocking or excessive vibration) and the
blade appears to be tracking correctly (in one place). You
can check this by holding a marker, e.g. a pencil, close
to the back of the blade (approach from the back of the
blade only) and check that the gap remains constant.
If it doesn’t, adjust the tracking until it does. Make very
small adjustments and wait for the saw to react before
you adjust again, sometimes the reaction is not
instantaneous. Once you are satisfied that the tracking
is correct switch the machine off and allow it to run to
a stop.
