Upper saw blade guide:
Fig. 14: Saw blade guide
Step 1: First loosen the screw and push the rollers up to
approx. 1.5 mm towards the saw blade teeth.
Step 2: Clamp the screw again.
Step 3: To adjust the lateral guide rollers (Fig. 14, Pos. D),
loosen the clamping plates (Fig. 14; C) and adjust
the guide rollers with the adjusting screw (Fig. 14,
Pos. B) so that there is a gap of approx. 0.5-0.7
mm between them and the saw band. If the gap is
set too small, the bandsaw blades will wear faster!
Step 4: Retighten the screws (Fig. 14, Pos. C).
Step 5: Loosen the screw (Fig. 14; A) and slide the rear gui
-
de roller on the saw band backs.
Step 6: Retighten the screw (Fig. 14, Pos. A).

NOTE!
Before the saw blade run can be adjusted, a concrete
adjustment of the saw blade tension is necessary.
Disconnect the machine from the power supply as
with all adjustment work.
