Adjusting Blade Tracking
Tracking refers to how the blade is positioned on the wheels while in motion. The blade should
trackin the center of both wheels.
The blade must be slightly tensioned before adjusting blade tracking. Make sure blade guides
and bearings do not interfere with the blade. If blade tracking is required, blade guide adjustment
is described on the following page.
1) Open the top and bottom wheel covers. Rotate the wheel forward by hand, and observe the
position of the blade. It should be in the center of the wheel.
If adjustment is necessary:
2) Loosen the wing nut (B-Fig.7) and make adjustment with tracking knob (A) while rotating
wheel by hand.
3) Tightening the tracking knob slightly will move the blade so it tracks towards the rear of
machine. Loosening the tracking knob slightly will cause the blade to track toward the front
of the machine.
4) After blade is tracking in the center of the wheel, tighten the wing nut (B).
