Adjusting Blade Tension
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Turn blade tension handwheel (A, Figure
18) counterclockwise to tension blade, and
clockwise to loosen the tension. A gauge
on the upper wheel slide bracket (B, Figure
18) indicates the approximate tension
according to the width of the blade. The
JWBS-18 comes with a 3/4” blade so the
tension should be set at 3/4” when using
this blade.
3. As you become familiar with the saw, you
may find it necessary to change the blade
tension from the initial setting. Changes in
blade width, and the type of material being
cut will have an effect on blade tension.
4. Keep in mind that too little, or too much
blade tension can cause blade breakage
and/or poor cutting performance.
Adjusting Blade Tracking
Disconnect machine from
power source. Never adjust blade tracking
with the machine running. Failure to comply
may cause serious injury.
Note: Blade tracking has been adjusted at the
factory. If, however, it is determined that blade
tracking needs adjustment:
1. Blade must be properly tensioned before
adjusting blade tracking. Make sure upper
and lower bearing guides do not interfere
with the blade while adjusting the tracking.
2. Open the upper wheel door. Rotate the
wheel forward, and observe the position of
the blade on the wheel. The blade should
rest in approximately the center of the
wheel.
3. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the wing
nut (C, Figure 18) at the top rear of the saw.
4. Adjust tracking by turning the knob (D,
Figure 18) in 1/4 turn increments. Rotate
the wheel forward, and observe the position
of the blade on the wheel. Rotating knob
(D, Figure 18) counterclockwise should
move the blade towards the front of the
wheel. Rotating the knob clockwise should
move the blade towards the back of the
wheel.
5. Continue with adjustments until the blade is
tracking properly.
6. Tighten the wing nut (C, Figure 18).
