TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
Blade tension has been preset at the factory; however
if the tension should need to be increased, this can be
accomplished by turning the handwheel (A) clockwise until
the tension limiter (B) slips. Please note that one does not
need to press the handwheel, simply turn. For purposes
of proper blade tracking, the back of th blade should be
located against the fl ange of the blade wheel. If it is not,
the tracking can be adjusted by loosening the screw (C)
in Fig. 15, and adjusting screw (D) in Fig. 15, until the
blade is tracking properly, When adjustment is complete,
retighten screw (C).
