Adjusting blade track
When the band saw blade tends to slip out from the
wheel, adjust the blade track.
To adjust, insert the hex wrench into the adjustment
hole as illustrated and make a quarter turn clockwise.
After that, check if the band saw blade does not slip out.
If it still slips out, make another quarter turn and check
until the band saw blade does not slip out.
