9. Tension blade to approximately 25,000 lbs.
of blade tension, as indicated on the blade
tension indicator found on the tension wheel
shaft housing.
10. Attach wire brush to the wire brush post with
screw and washer. Adjust wire brush post
so that brush just comes into contact with
blade teeth.
11. Close all covers and guards and fasten
securely. Connect machine to power and
run freely for approximately two minutes.
12. Turn power off and re-check blade tensio n
and wire brush adjustment. If further
adjustment is necessary, disconnect saw
from power source, make adjustments, and
re-connect to power.
Blade Tracking Adjustment
Blade tracking has been set at the factory and
should not require adjustment. If a tracking
problem occurs, adjust the machine as follows:
Tracking adjustment is done
with the wheel covers open to observe the
blade. Use extreme caution so that you do
not come into contact with the blade.
Since tracking can only be adjusted while
machine is running, it is suggested that this
adjustment be accomplished by qualified
personnel that are familiar with this type of
adjustment and the dangers associated with it.
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Raise saw arm to its highest position and
close cutting pressure control valve to hold
saw arm in place.
3. Locate tracking adjustment plate on the
back side of the driven blade wheel.
4. Loosen the three bolts (A, Figure 8) located
on the top of the tracking nuts.
5. Tracking adjustment is accomplished by
either loosening or tightening three adjusting
nuts (B, Figure 8).
6. Tracking is set properly when the back of
the blade lightly touches the wheel flange.
Note: Over-tracking (allowing blade back to
rub hard against wheel flange) will damage
the blade wheels and blade.
7. Tighten locking bolts (A) once proper
tracking is completed.
8. Connect machine to the power source.
