Adjusting Wheel Shaft Position
If blade tracking (see
Page 38) is out of alignment,
the wheel shafts can be adjusted the change the
angle of the wheels. Properly adjusted wheels
should be parallel when the blade is tensioned.
If blade tracking appears to be out of alignment,
we recommend first replacing the blade before
adjusting blade shaft position. A worn belt can
become "bell mouthed" and throw off wheel
coplanarity just enough to cause problems. Guide
rollers out of adjustment can make the blade wob-
ble or wander. Before adjusting wheel shaft posi-
tion, check all of these. The blade wheels were
carefully factory set to be coplanar and parallel
before your saw was shipped so adjusting wheel
shaft position should be done as a last resort.
There are two adjustment bolts with hex nuts that
adjust the vertical wheel tilt and a through bolt
with hex nut that adjusts the horizontal wheel tilt
(see
Figure 60).
