BLADE ON
WHEEL
If the blade has moved left or right of center:
n Turn the blade tracking knob (clockwise if blade has
moved left and counterclockwise if blade has moved
right) while turning the wheel by hand until the blade
moves back and rides in the center of the tire.
n Check the position of the blade on the lower tire. The
blade should be completely on the tire. If not, adjust
the tracking until the blade is on both tires.
n Rotate the upper wheel by hand in a clockwise
direction for a few more turns. Make sure the blade
stays in the same location on the tires. Readjust, if
necessary, until blade is tracking properly.
n Close front cover and relatch.
NOTE: The 1/8 in. blade may not track properly in the
center of the wheel. It may be better to track this blade on
the back half of the upper wheel.
