Blade guides
Check the ceramic blade guides for the proper setting.
The two round ceramic guides should hover over and under the blade
between 0.0075-0.010 inches (0.2 - 0.25mm) -- use the provided 0.0075"
shim (p/n 035248) as a gauge.
The adjustment bolts for the top and bottom guides face the foot of the
sawmill. (See FIG.
4-5 and FIG. 4-6.)
NOTE: Before setting or adjusting the ceramic
blade guides the blade must be at the correct
tension and tracked on the band wheels.
A square ceramic guide lies in the middle of the blade guide assembly. This guide should be positioned approximately 1/8 inch
from blade back. Use the set screw on the side of the blade guide assembly to hold the position of the square guide.
(See FIG.
4-6 .)
Set both blade guide assemblies on each side of the blade in this
manner.
Drive belt adjustment
The idler pulley for the drive belt is adjustable by lengthening or
shortening the clutch cable. This will also affect the engine throttle.
The ideal setting occurs when the throttle handle is completely
depressed, the engine should run full out, and the blade drive wheel
is fully engaged. Conversely, when the throttle handle is released,
the engine should revert to idle, and the blade drive wheel stop turn
