TRACKING THE BANDSAW BLADE
Unplug the bandsaw. 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.
Open both doors. Loosen the lock lever (A-Fig.9) by
turning it counter clockwise and turn the blade tracking
knob (B-Fig.9) clockwise/counterclockwise while turning
the upper wheel by hand at least three rotations or until the
blade tracks centered on the wheel. Finally, tighten the lock
lever and close the doors.
ADJUSTING THE BLADE TENSION
The 10-351 has a Quick Release blade function which
allows for fast blade changing and tensioning. The Quick
Release Lever is shown in Figure 10.
To loosen the tension of the blade, turn the blade tension
hand wheel, or lever, (A-Fig.11) counter clockwise. To
tighten the tension of the blade, turn the blade tension
hand wheel clockwise. Tension the blade until the tension
readings correspond to the width of blade you are using by
viewing through the tension indicator window (B-Fig.11).
Note: The blade tension scale may read differently due to
cut specifications of the blade manufacturer. It might be
necessary to increase/decrease tension up/down one size
on blade tension scale to achieve proper blade tension.
Always tension the blade with the quick
release lever in the “On” position. Failure to do so could
result in lack of blade tension or tension failure.
BLADE TENSION INDICATOR ADJUSTMENT
The Blade Tension Indicator arrow should be checked
and adjusted the first time the saw is set up and run, and
whenever a new blade is installed. The blade tension
indicator can also be adjusted for blades made from
thicker steel, or cut over/under in length by different
manufacturers.
With moderate tension on the blade loosen the two
adjusting screws with a Phillips-head screw driver
(A-Fig.12). Adjust the blade indicator up/down as needed
(B-Fig.12) and re-tighten the two adjusting screws.
