4.1 Sawmill adjustments
Tension the blade
In the hardware box, there is a ratcheting wrench for setting the
wheels for proper tension.
(See FIG. 4-1 .)
Turn the blade tensioning nut until there is no gap between the
back of tensioning plate and the housing. (SEE FIG. 4-2 .)
Blade tracking
When tensioned properly, check the tracking of the blade by spinning the
wheel a few times by hand.
Ensure the back of the blade remains approximately flush to 1/8 inch of
overhang at the rear edge of the wheels.
On the back of each side of the sawhead, adjustment bolts are available for
tracking the blade. (See FIG. 4-3 .)
Loosen the set nuts on the adjustment bolt and move the wheel until it is
properly aligned. The blade should track straight without moving in or out
from the final setting, and the blade remains flush to 1/8" overhang to the
rear edge of the wheel.
(See FIG. 4-4 .)
When the blade tracks straight, tighten the rear set nuts.
