Your band saw is equipped with an adjustable blade tracking mechanism which always assures
proper blade tracking. The back edge of a properly aligned blade will run lightly against one or
both backup rollers in the blade guides. (The pressure between the edge of the blade and the
roller will be very slight and will not damage either the blade or the roller.)
TO ADJUST THE BLADE TRACKING
o 1. Use a 1/2" (13 mm) wrench to loosen the adjustment locking nut (G), (shown in Fig. 2
below) by turning it one or two turns counterclockwise.
o 2. Use a screwdriver to turn the adjustment screw (H) 1/4 turn. Turning the screw
clockwise will move the blade up toward the blade guide rollers. Turning the screw
counterclockwise will move the blade down away from the rollers.
o 3. Adjust so that the back edge of the blade lightly touches the rollers then securely
tighten the adjustment locking nut. (It will be necessary to insert the battery pack and
run the saw to observe the tracking.)
o 4. Observe blade tracking between runs and repeat Steps 1–4 as necessary to achieve
proper blade tracking
Information pertinent to Safety: (PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), workspace, etc.)

o Make sure you are using the right tool for the job.
