• If the blade moves towards the INSIDE EDGE (J) of the blade
wheel, turn the tracking adjustment knob (13) anti-clockwise.
Continue adjusting until the blade returns to and remains in
the centre of the blade wheel.
• Check the position of the blade on the lower wheel. If the
tracking is off, continue to rotate the tracking adjustment
knob (13) clockwise and anti-clockwise until the blade is
centred on both blade wheels as they rotate.
Adjusting the upper blade guide stabilising bars
and blade guide bracket (Fig 5)
NOTE: The upper and lower blade guides and support bearings
stabilise the moving blade during operation under load
conditions. These guides MUST be checked and adjusted
BEFORE EACH USE and AFTER BLADE CHANGES.
• Loosen the two blade guide adjusting screws (M) with a hex
key. Slide each blade guide stabilising bar towards the blade
(5) so that they are as close as possible to the blade, but
without touching or pinching the blade. Tighten the two blade
guide adjusting screws (M) securely with the hex key.
• Loosen the blade guide bracket adjusting screw (N) with the
hex key.
• Move this bracket in or out until the front of the two blade
guide stabilising bars are to the rear of, and not touching, the
blade teeth.
• Re-tighten the blade guide bracket adjusting screw (N)
securely with the hex key.
WARNING: ENSURE that the two blade guide stabilising bars do
NOT touch the teeth of the saw blade when you are operating
the bandsaw and applying pressure into the saw blade with
your workpiece.
Adjusting the upper blade support bearing (Fig 5)
• The blade support bearing (L) keeps the saw blade (5) from
being pushed back when cutting. This support bearing
should be fixed 3mm behind the blade.
• Loosen the blade support bearing adjustment screw (K) with
the hex key. Position the blade support bearing (L) 3mm
behind the smooth, rear edge of the blade.
• Tighten the support bearing adjustment screw (K) securely
with the hex key.
• Replace the blade guard (3) if no additional adjustments are
to be made.
Adjusting the lower blade guide stabilising bars,
blade guide and support bearing (Fig 6)
• Follow the same steps and sequence used when adjusting
the upper blade guide stabilising bars for adjusting the lower
blade guide and support bearing.
• To access the blade guide adjusting screw and support
bearing adjusting screw, pass the hex key through the holes
in the lower blade wheel housing.
NOTE: Make sure you have properly adjusted both the upper
and lower blade guides. The blade will be ruined if the blade
teeth hit the blade guides.
Squaring the table to the blade
• Raise the blade guard (3) as far as it will go.
• Loosen the table lock handle (16).
• Set a combination square on the table and align it with the
blade.
• Move the table (15) until it is at a 90° angle to the blade (5).
Tighten the table lock handle (16).
• Turn the zero-stop set screw (11) until it touches the frame.
Turn the shaft clockwise to tighten the table.
• Recheck the adjustment. Reset the angle guide (17) to the
actual correct reading.
Tilting the work table
• Loosen the work table lock handle (16).
• Tilt the work table until it reaches the required angle.
• Check the angle on the angle guide (17). Tighten the work
table locking handle.
Wheel brush (Fig 7)
• The wheel brush (P) is located inside the housing and helps
keep the blade and the wheel free of sawdust and wood
chips.
• To adjust, loosen the screw and position the wheel brush (P)
so that it contacts the bristles of the brush.
• Re-tighten the screw.
