5.3. Guide heads - adjustment

The correct adjustment of the bearings and hard-metal guides principally influences the band life and the quality of the cut. The
eccentrically arranged bearings of the guide heads must be so set that the band surface is parallel to the surface of the hard-metal
plates and that there is minimum clearance between these plates and the band.

Guide heads - adjustment
Set the adjustable guide head to be far from the fixed guide head approx. 20 cm. Remove the coolant hoses from the guide heads.
Unscrew the guide heads from the fixed and adjustable bars and turn them by 180°(bearings and hard metals guidance up) and
screw them to the bars. Make sure that the heads are upright mounted to the bars in the same height. Check the fixity of hard metal
tightening. Take old band (approx. 30 cm of it) and put it in the guide heads between hard metals and bearings. Set the pressing hard
metal guidance by width adjusting screws so the band moves inside the hard metals without any clearance but without rub. Set the
bearings to the band in away so the band moves through them moves them all but do not shear and is not loosen. The bearings must
be drifted by the band. Make sure all screws are tightened properly. Take away the guide heads from the bars and put the band on the
running wheels properly. Put on the guide heads on the band and fix them on the bars. Close the band cover and switch main switch
on . Try to run the band on the running wheels. If the band is slipping adjust the band properly.
