Figure 8-7: Blade Tracking Check
-
Use blade jog button (D, Fig 7-1) to run the machine.
Analysis:
-
If the paper is cut then the blade is riding too close to the
flange. Readjust.
-
If the paper folds or creases then the blade is seated
properly...ok
-
If you notice that the blade is riding away from the flange,
then readjust.
8.6 Blade Guide Adjustment
The blade is guided by means of pads and bearings.
The guides are adjusted ex works with minimum play.
Make sure to always install 0.9 mm thick blades for which the
blade guide pads and bearings have been adjusted.
For saw blades with a different thickness, the adjustment
should be carried out as follows:
Note:
The position for pad (A, Fig 8-8) and bearings (G) are fixed and
cannot be adjusted.
Figure 8-8: Blade Guide Adjustment
-
Loosen screw (C), nut (D), and set screw (D) to widen the
passage between the pads (A and B).
G
-
Loosen the nut (E) and set screw (E) and rotate the shaft
screw (F) with a flat head screw driver to widen the
passage between the bearings (F and G).
-
To mount the new blade:
Adjust the pad (B) to the blade then loosen the setscrew
(D) to allow a play of 0.04 mm for the movement of the
saw blade. Lock the screw (C), then secure the set screw
(D) and nut (D).
Rotate the shaft (F) until the bearings rest against the
blade, then secure the set screw (E) and nut (E).
8.7 Changing the Blade
WARNING:
Before performing the following operations, the electric power
must be disconnected.
To change the blade:
-
Lift the saw arm.
-
Loosen the blade with the blade tension hand wheel,
remove the mobile blade-guide cover, open the flywheel
guards and remove the old blade from the flywheels and
the blade guide blocks.
-
Assemble the new blade by placing it first between the
pads and then on the race of the flywheels, paying
particular attention to the cutting direction of the teeth
(Fig 8-9).
Figure 8-9: Blade Cutting Direction
-
Tension the blade and make sure it perfectly fits inside the
seat of the flywheels.

Assemble the mobile blade-guide cover and the flywheel
guard.
