Adjusting Blade Tracking
Disconnect machine from the
power source! Never adjust blade tracking with the
machine running!
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
“Tracking” refers to how the blade is situated upon the
wheels while in motion. The blade should track in the
center of both wheels.
1. The blade must be properly tensioned before
adjusting blade tracking. The release lever should
be in the down (tensioned) position. Make sure
blade guides and blade bearings do not interfere
with the blade.
2. Open top blade cover. Rotate the wheel forward
and observe the position of the blade on the wheel
- it should be in the center of the wheel. See Fig. 9.
3. If adjustment is necessary, loosen wing nut (Fig. 7),
and tighten tracking knob slightly to move blade
toward rear of machine. Slightly loosening the
tracking knob will cause the blade to track toward
the front of the machine.
4. Tighten wing nut after blade is tracking in the
center of the wheel.
