5.5 Adjusting the blade to the flywheels
1. Loosen the hex nut screws A, B, and C.
2. Use an Allen wrench on set screw D to adjust the
tilt of the flywheel.
-Turning the set screw D clockwise will tilt flywheel so
that the blade will ride closer to the flange.
-Turning the set screw D counter-clockwise with tilt the
flywheels that the blade will ride away from the flange.
If the blade rides away too far then it will come off.
After the adjustment is finished, fasten the hex nut
screws in this order: A, B, and C.
Checking the adjustment of the blade
Use a strip of scrap paper and slide it between the
blade and the flywheel while it is running.
-if the paper is cut then the blade is riding too close to
the flange. Re-adjust.
-if you notice that the blade is riding away from the
flange. Then re-adjust.
