6. Loosen the lock nut on the blade tracking
knob threads so the blade tracking knob will
rotate for adjustments.
7. Spin the upper wheel with one hand and
rotate the blade tracking knob with the other
hand to make the blade ride in the center of
the bandsaw wheel tire.
8. After the blade consistently rides in the center
of the wheel, tighten the tracking control lock
nut.
9. Close the upper wheel cover.
Note: For the best performance from your saw,
regularly maintain the proper tracking of the
blade.
Once the assembly is complete and you have
performed the Blade Tracking steps on Page 18,
you need to test run the machine to continue with
the remainder of the adjustments.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate
the source of an unusual noise or vibration,
stop the machine immediately, then review
Troubleshooting on Page 37.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our
Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.
