Moving The Blade Rearward
Using a 16mm wrench, hold the
“horizontal bolt”
stationary with a wrench and turn the
“horizontal
outside nut
”
counter-clockwise a ½ turn. Still holding the
“horizontal bolt”
stationary, turn the
“horizontal inside nut”
clockwise a ½ turn. This step has now shifted the
“horizontal bolt”
and
bandwheel shaft, causing the blade to track more forward.
Tighten the vertical bolts, then nuts to clamp the bandwheel shaft back into vertical position.

Re-tension the blade by turning the
“T” handle a full turn in the clockwise direction. Wearing
gloves, spin the bandwheel with your hand and observe how the blade has changed tracking.
Measure the distance again and repeat the above step to further compensate if required. The
ideal measurement is 3/8
