TRACKING THE SAW BLADE
Unplug the bandsaw. A blade is
installed at the factory. It is recommended to check
the blade tracking prior to use. Make sure the upper
and lower blade guides are adjusted away from the
blade and the tension scale is set to correspond to
the width of the blade you are using.
1. Open both doors. At the rear of the machine,
loosen the Lock Lever (#22C, FIG. 14, A) by turning it
counterclockwise.
2. Turn the Blade Tracking Handle (#23C, Fig. 14,B)
clockwise or counterclockwise, while at the same time
carefully turning the Upper Wheel (#24E) by hand.
Fig. 15. Check the tracking of the blade on the wheel
through the side window (Fig. 14, C). Make at least
three rotations of the wheel or until the blade tracks
centered on the wheel.
3. Once the blade runs centered, tighten the lock
lever and close the doors. For tracking of the blade on
the Lower Wheel (#13E), see page 26 for instructions.
NOTE: the lower wheel has been pre-set at the
factory and any changes made to this wheel should
be after thorough reading and understanding of
the instructions. Failure to do so could damage the
machine.

SETTING THE TABLE SQUARE TO THE SAW
BLADE’S BACK
While pre-set before shipping, if needed, the table
may also be re-set at 90° to the back of the saw blade
by adjusting the trunnion micro adjust ment screws.
1. On the lower Trunnion Support (#17B), slightly
loosen the two Hex Bolts (#22B, 25B) that hold the
support to the bandsaw frame. Fig. 13, A.
2. Set a square on the table and against the saw
blade’s back, flat edge.
3. Using the 3mm hex wrench, turn the lower trun-
nion’s micro adjusting hex screws (#23B) to adjust the
table position. Fig. 13, B.
