Frequently asked questions

To adjust the blade tension, move the blade tension handle toward the back. A scale is located on the back of the upper wheel slide bracket. The graduations on the scale indicate the proper tension for various widths of blades. With the blade on the wheels, turn the knob to raise or lower the wheel until the red fiber washer is in line with the proper graduation for the size of the blade used.

After applying tension to the blade, rotate the wheels slowly forward by hand and observe the blade’s movement. The blade should travel in the center of the upper tire. If the blade creeps toward the front edge, loosen the wing nut and turn the thumb screw clockwise. This action draws the blade toward the center of the tire. If the blade creeps toward the back edge, turn the thumb screw in the opposite direction.

Adjust the upper blade guides and blade support bearings ONLY after the blade has the correct tension and is tracking properly. To adjust: Confirm that the bottom blade guides and support bearings are not touching the blade. Observe the upper blade guide assembly. The blade guides should be parallel to the blade. To adjust, loosen the screw and rotate the complete guide assembly. When the blade guides are parallel with the blade, tighten the screw. Adjust the guides so that the front edge of the guides are just behind the 'gullets' of the saw teeth. You can move the complete guide block bracket in or out by loosening the thumb screw and turning the knurled knob. When the guides are set properly, tighten the thumb screw. Two set screws hold the upper blade guides in place. Loosen the set screws to move the guides. Place them as close as possible to the side of the blade. (Do not pinch the blade). Tighten the screws. The upper blade support bearing prevents damage to the set in the saw teeth by keeping the blade held forward. Set the support bearing 1/64" behind the blade. Loosen the thumb screw and turn the knurled knob to move the support bearing in or out.
