Adjusting Blade Tracking
Note: Before making any tracking adjustments, try a new blade. Warped blades
will not track properly.
Blade tracking has been set at the factory and should not require
adjusting. If a tracking issue occurs, adjust the machine as follows:
1. Move the saw bow to the vertical position and lock in place by
turning off the hydraulic cylinder valve.
2. Confirm that the blade tension is set properly. To adjust, see
the section titled “Adjusting Blade Tension”
3. Remove the (2) Screws and open the back cover after sliding
up the drive pulley cover.
4. Run the saw and observe the blade. The blade should run close
to, but not tightly against the pulley flange.
5. Loosen the two hex bolts (V) as indicated.
6. Turn setscrew (W) while observing blade tracking on the pulley.
Turn the setscrew clockwise (cw) to track the blade closer to the
pulley flange. Turn the setscrew counterclockwise (ccw) to track
the blade away from the pulley flange.
7. Once the tracking is set, tighten the two hex bolts (V).
CAUTION:
Blades are sharp! Use extra care when removing, installing, or
adjusting the saw blade! The blade tracking adjustment requires running the saw
with the back cover open. This adjustment must be completed by qualified trained
personnel. Failure to comply may cause serious personal injury!
