3. Move the blade tension quick-release lever
all the way right (as viewed from the rear of
the machine) to apply tension to the blade
(see
Figure 24).
4. Use the tension knob on top of the bandsaw
to bring the upper edge of the indicator block
to the appropriate blade tension scale mark
for the blade width (see
Figure 24).
Note: If you are using the blade that was
shipped with the machine, this would be
3
⁄
8
".
5. Open the upper wheel cover.
6. Rotate the upper wheel by hand several
times and watch how the blade rides on the
wheel crown (see
Figure 22 on Page 21 for
an illustration of this concept).
To center track the blade:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Adjust the upper and lower blade guides
away from the blade (refer to
Adjusting
Blade Guide Bearings on Page 27 for
detailed instructions).
Note: When adjusting the blade tracking for
the test run in this procedure, the blade must
have a reasonable amount of tension to sim-
ulate operating conditions. After the test run
is successfully completed, you will perform
a thorough version of the following steps to
more accurately tension the blade.

Figure 23. Wheel alignment and misalignment
examples.
The wheels on the G0555LX were aligned at the
factory, so center tracking is the only adjustment
that needs to be performed when the saw is new.
This adjustment is necessary before turning the
saw
ON or performing other adjustments.
