The wheels on the G0803Z were aligned at the
factory, so center tracking is the only adjustment
that needs to be performed when the saw is new.
This adjustment is necessary before turning the
saw on or performing other adjustments.
To adjust blade tracking:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Adjust upper and lower blade guides away
from blade, and raise upper guides all the
way up (refer to Adjusting Blade Guide
Bearings on Page
23 for detailed instruc-
tions).
Note: When adjusting the blade tracking for
the test run in this procedure, the blade must
have approximately the same amount of ten-
sion as when under operating conditions.
After the test run is successfully completed,
you will be instructed on how to more accu-
rately tension the blade for optimum results.
3.
Move quick-release lever all the way clock-
wise (as viewed from the rear of the machine)
to apply tension to blade (see Figure
20).
