9.0 Adjustments

The efficient operation of the cut-off saw is
dependent upon the condition of the saw blade. If
saw performance begins to deteriorate, the first item
that you should check is the blade.
If a new blade does not restore the machine's
cutting accuracy and quality, refer to the Trouble-
shooting section (or the blade manufacturer's guide)
for conditions to consider and adjustments that can
be made to increase blade life. To change the blade,
refer to sect. 11.4. To adjust blade tracking, refer to
the following procedures.

9.1 Blade tracking adjustment

Blade tracking has been tested by the manufacturer.
Adjustment is rarely required when the blade is used
properly or if the blade is correctly welded. See
Figure 8 for location of blade tracking adjustment
screws.
9.1.1 Factory or field procedure
1. Raise saw head enough to allow saw motor to
operate.
2. Loosen four knobs securing blade cover. Lift
cover and swing it backward.
3. Remove blade guard mounted on left blade
guide support.
4. Remove both blade guide bearing brackets.
NOTE: Maintain proper tension at all times
using blade tensioning mechanism.
5. Loosen the center locking screws in all three
hex adjustment screws on blade tensioning
mechanism (see Figure 10).
following, keep the blade from rubbing
excessively on wheel shoulder. Excessive
rubbing will damage wheel and/or blade.
6. Start the saw. Slowly turn the single hex
adjustment screw at rear of tracking mechanism
to tilt the idler wheel. Do not turn either of the
other two adjustment screws. Turn adjustment
screw until blade is touching shoulder of idler
wheel.
NOTE: Turning the screw inward causes blade
to move toward wheel shoulder. Turning the
screw outward causes blade to move away
from shoulder.
