Adjust the saw band
Important. The saw band (14) must be at the correct tension before you make any
adjustments to it.
▪
Open the left side cover (15) by unscrewing the sealing screws (16).
▪
Undo the locking screw (11) on the top saw band roller (17) (Fig. 8).
▪
Turn the top saw band roller (17) clockwise (Fig. 1). The saw band (14) must run in the
centre of the saw band rollers (17) (18) (Fig. 12). If this is not the case the angle of the top
saw band roller (17) must be corrected.
In the event that the saw band (14) runs towards the rear of the saw band roller (17) (towards
the machine casing (2)), turn the setting screw (12) anti-clockwise to correct it. As you do this
turn the saw band roller (17) clockwise slowly and continuously to enable you to check the
position of the saw band (14).
In the event that the saw band (14) runs towards the front edge of the saw band roller (17),
turn the setting screw (12) clockwise to correct it. As you do this turn the saw band roller (17)
clockwise slowly and continuously to enable you to check the position of the saw band (14).
After you have adjusted the top saw band roller (17) check the bottom saw band roller (18).
The saw band (14) must run in the centre of this saw band roller (18) as well. If this is not the
case the top saw band roller (17) must be adjusted again.
Please note that adjusting the top saw band roller (17) will not affect the bottom roller (18) until
the saw band has completed several revolutions.
Tighten the lock nut (11) for the top saw band roller (17) again (Fig. 8).
▪
Seal the left side cover (15) and tighten the sealing screws (16) again.
