WARNING!
Do not spin the blade wheels by hand. Spinning the blade
wheels by hand may result in serious injury.
10.
Disengage the blade.
11.
Turn the engine off.
Blade Wheel Alignment
The blade wheels should be adjusted so they are level in the vertical and horizontal
planes. If the blade wheels are tilted up or down, the blade will want to cut in the tilted
direction. If the blade wheels are tilted horizontally, the blade will not track properly on the
wheels.
DRIVE-SIDE BLADE WHEEL
1.
Attach the Blade Guide Alignment Tool (p/n LTBGAT) to the blade as close to the wheel
as possible without anything interfering with the tool.
NOTICE:
Be sure the tool does not rest on a tooth or burr, and is lying
flat against the bottom of the blade.
See Figure 9-10.
2.
Move the saw mast so the front end of the tool is positioned over the first bed rail.
3.
Measure from the bottom of the tool to the top surface of the bed rail.
4.
Move the saw mast so the rear of the tool is positioned over the bed rail.
5.
Measure from the bottom of the tool to the top surface of the bed rail.
6.
If the two measurements differ by more than 1/16" (1.5 mm), adjust the vertical tilt of the
drive-side blade wheel.
