ADJUSTING THE BLADE TRACKING
WARNING:
Blade tracking adjustment requires running the saw with the back cover open. This adjust-
ment must only be completed by a qualified person. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
Blade tracking has been set at the factory and should not require adjustment on your existing blade. If a tracking
problem occurs, before making any tracking adjustments, try replacing with a new blade (see page 20 “Changing
the Saw Blade”) and see if the tracking issue is resolved. Warped or worn blades will not track properly.
If the problem still persists, adjust the machine as follows:
WARNING:
If the blade tension or tracking is improper, the blade can spring off, causing serious
injury. Stand behind the saw and cover at all times when adjusting blade tracking to minimize the risk of
injury. Make sure to wear safety glasses, work gloves, long work pants and long sleeve shirt.
1. Move the saw arm to the raised position and lock it in place by shutting OFF the hydraulic valve.
2. Confirm that the blade tension is set properly (see page 19 “Adjusting the Blade Tension”).
3. Open the back cover by removing the cover screws and washers.
4. Loosen the drive wheel cover screws (Fig. 27 - 1) to permit full opening of the cover.
5. Run the saw and observe the blade. The blade should run next to but not tightly against the wheel flange.
6. To adjust the blade tracking, loosen the two shaft locking bolts (Fig. 31 - 1).
7. Slowly turn the set screw (Fig. 31 - 2) with a hex wrench, while observing the blade tracking on the wheel.

Turn the set screw clockwise to track the blade closer to
the wheel flange.
Turn the set screw counterclockwise to track the blade
away from the wheel flange.
8. Once the blade tracking is complete, tighten the two
shaft locking bolts (Fig. 31 - 1).
9. Close the blade cover door and secure with the cover
washers and screws. Re-tighten drive wheel cover screws
(Fig. 27 - 1).
