Adjust the movable vise parallel to the fixed vise by loosening bolt (A, Figure 13), adjusting to parallel, and tightening bolt. 2. Tension blade slightly to remove any sag in blade between blade wheels. 3. Turn blade tension knob (A, Figure 14) one and three quarter to two revolutions clockwise.
13. Run the saw and make sure blade is tracking properly (see section 7.9). This machine is designed and intended for use with blades that are 3/4” wide by 0.032” thick x 93” long.
