is half way between table and head, then tighten lock
knob (A, Figure 7).
2. Loosen screw (F, Figure 9) and slide blade guide
assembly away from blade until it stops.
3. Loosen screw (G, Figure 9). Slide blade stop (H,
Figure 9) toward blade until a gap of 1/32” remains.
Tighten screw (G, Figure 9).
4. Slide blade guide assembly toward blade until blade

Tighten screw (F, Figure 9).
5. Open upper access door and rotate blade wheel by
hand until weld portion of blade is between the two
fi ngers.
6. Loosen two hex cap screws (I, Figure 9) and adjust
each fi nger toward the blade. They should not touch
the blade. Adjust for 0.010” clearance on either side.
7. Tighten two hex cap screws (I, Figure 9) once prop-
er adjustment has been made.
8. Adjust lower blade guides in the same manner.
Note: Even properly adjusted blade guides will show
wear after continual use. Readjust as necessary. If the
blade guides become diffi cult to adjust, switch the left
and right blade guides.

10.2 BLADE TRACKING
Blade tracking may be required periodically depending on
the blade size and tension. The blade must be tensioned
as outlined in section 10.1 Blade Tensioning. Disconnect
the machine from the power source and open both blade
wheel doors. Shift high-low gearbox lever into the neutral
position. Turn upper blade wheel by hand while observing
blade position on the upper blade wheel. If adjustment is
necessary:
1. Turn blade tracking knob (E, Figure 8) clockwise to
track blade toward front of blade wheel.
2. Turn tracking knob counterclockwise to track blade
toward rear of blade wheel. Blade should be tracked
as close to center of top blade wheel as possible.
Note: Upper and lower blade guides should be moved
away and left loose from the blade while tracking ad-
justments are being made.
