7. Tighten the blade, then check the wheels. (Coplanar
wheels may pull out of alignment when the blade is
tightened.)
8. When the wheels are coplanar, place a mark on each
wheel where you held the straightedge. This assures
repeated accuracy every time you adjust your
wheels.
Note: When wheels are properly coplanar, the blade
may not be centered on the crown of the wheel, but
it will be balanced.
Adjusting Lower Wheel
Only do this procedure if you cannot make the wheels
coplanar with the tracking knob or by shimming the upper
wheel. Make sure the upper wheel is adjusted as close as
possible to being coplanar with the lower wheel before
beginning. Do this procedure with the blade fully ten-
sioned.
To adjust the lower wheel, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Loosen the four hex bolts on the lower wheel adjust-
ment hub ( Figure 57).
3. Rotate the wheel adjustment sleeves to tilt the
lower wheel as necessary to make it coplanar with
the upper wheel.
4. Tighten the hex bolts to lock the wheel adjustment
sleeves in position. Figure 57. Wheel adjustment hub.
