ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION
To prevent the blade from falling off the wheel during operation, the blade
must be properly tensioned.
Disconnect power cord from power source before tensionning blade.
To tension blade, remove the upper wheel cover and then turn the tension
hex. nut (A) Fig.18 clockwise to increase blade tension or counterclockwise
to decrease the blade tension. Proper tension is obtained once there is a
1/4" deflection in the blade when moderate finger pressure is applied.
ADJUSTING BLADE TRACKING
The blade must be properly centered on the wheels, remove the upper
wheel cover. The blade tracking is controled by the position of the cap
screw (B) Fig.19 and hex. nut (A).
Make sure the blade is installed and tensioned properly. Loosen hex. nut
(A) and then adjust the cap screw (B). Tightening the cap screw will make
the blade run towards the back of the upper wheel and loosening the cap
screw will make the blade run towards the front of the upper wheel.
Make your adjustment by turning the upper wheel by hand and check to see
how the blade is tracking, adjust until necessary.
INSTALLING/CHANGING BLADE
Disconnect the machine from the power source!
To gain access to the blade and to remove it, the upper wheel cover, entire
table assembly, V-Belt, blade guard and both stainless steel guards (A & B)
Fig.20 must be removed from the Meat Bandsaw. Move the blade guide
blocks and guide plates away from the blade so it is easier to remove
and/or install the blade. Release the blade tension by turning the hex. nut
(A) Fig.18 counterclockwise.
Remove the blade from the blade wheels, it is recommended to wear
gloves when handling any blade. Position new blade around the wheels,
make sure the teeth face the front of the saw and that they point
downwards.
Tension the blade, make sure the blade is tracking properly and
reassemble all the parts removed previously.
