2.7 Tracking The Blade
1. Make sure the middle blade housing cover is closed and all persons are clear of the open side of the
saw head.
2. While the main switch is on, turn the key switch to #2 position.
3. Manually spin one of the blade wheels until the blade positions itself on the blade wheels.
4. Check that if the blade is properly positioned on the blade wheels.
See Figure 2-7. Position 1 1/4” wide blades so the gullet is 1/8" (3.0 mm) out from the edge of the
blade wheel (±1/16 [1.5 mm]). Position 1 1/2” blades so the gullet is 3/16” (4.5 mm) out from the
edge of the blade wheel (±1/16 [1.5 mm]).
5. To adjust where the blade travels on the blade wheels, use the cant control shown in Figure 2-6.
If the blade is too far out, back the blade onto the wheel by turning the cant control counterclockwise.
If the blade is too far in, turn the cant control clockwise until the gullet of the blade is the correct
distance from the front edge of the wheel.
6. Retension the blade to the recommended tension to compensate for any adjustments you have
made in the cant control.
7. Replace the blade housing covers.
DANGER! Make sure all guards and covers are in place and secured
before operating or towing the sawmill. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury. Be sure the blade housing and pulley covers are in
place and secure. Use the safety retainer pin and cable to fasten blade
housing covers.
