ment knob as needed until blade is properly
tensioned.
6.
Rotate upper wheel by hand several times
and watch how blade rides on wheel (see
Figure 18 on Page 17 for an illustration of
this concept).
— If the blade rides in the center of the upper
wheel, it is properly tracking and you are
done with this procedure—proceed to
Dust Collection on Page .
— If the blade does not ride in the center of
the upper wheel, it is not properly tracking;
continue with the next step to adjust it.

Spin upper wheel with one hand and slowly
adjust tracking knob (see Figure 20) with
other hand until blade consistently tracks in
center of wheel.

Dust Collection

This machine creates a lot of wood chips/
dust during operation. Breathing airborne
dust on a regular basis can result in perma-
nent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk
by wearing a respirator and capturing the
dust with a dust-collection system.
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 100 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-
culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
To connect a dust collection hose:
1.
Fit dust hose over 2" dust port, as shown in
Figure 21, and secure it in place with a hose
clamp.

2. Gently pull hose to make sure it does not
come off. A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.
