6.2 Adjusting the spring balancer
The spring balancers from Schmid & Wezel
differ according to the maximum permissible
load.
Adjusting spring balancer (1)
The fine tuning of the spring balancer is done
with the PLUS / MINUS screw (1) on the
housing.
Turn the screw in MINUS direction until the
saw is hanging freely in equilibrium (with
the spring balancer) at working height.
If pulling out is not possible, the spring
balancer is jammed, and a readjustment is
necessary:
Turn the screw in PLUS direction until the
saw can be pulled out and start again with
fine adjustment
