8.3 Blade Tension Adjustment

Blade tension is important to the proper operation of the saw.
Blade tension is indicated on the Blade Tension Gauge (T, Fig
8-4). Turn the tension lever (U) clockwise until proper blade
tension is reached (green colour).

8.4 Blade Tracking Adjustment

The flywheel may need adjustment to allow the saw blade to
track correctly. Poor blade tracking adjustment can cause
damage to the saw blade or to allow the blade to ride off the
blade wheels.
Figure 8-5: Blade Tracking Adjustment
- Raise the saw arm.
- Disconnect the power supply.
- Loosen the hex socket screws ( A, B, C, Fig 8-5)
- Use set screw (D) to adjust the tilt of the flywheel (Fig 8-6).
Figure 8-6: Blade Tracking Adjustment
- When turning the set screw (D) clockwise, the blade will
ride closer to the flange.
- When turning the set screw (D) counter-clockwise, the
blade will ride away from the flange.
If the blade rides too far then it will come off.
- After the adjustment, tighten the hex socket screws in this
order: A, B, and C.

8.5 Blade Tracking Check

- Use a strip of scrap paper (E, Fig 8-7) and slide it between
the blade and the flywheel (F).
