5. Loosen the lock lever shown in Figure 20 so

that the

blade tracking knob can rotate.

NOTICE

Changes in the blade tension may change

the blade tracking.

6. Spin the upper wheel with one hand and

slowly rotate the tracking control knob with

the other hand to make the blade ride in the

center of the bandsaw wheel tire.

7. Close the upper wheel cover.

8. Fine tune the blade tracking (as instructed

in the following Test Run procedure) while

the bandsaw is running, then tighten the lock

lever attached to the blade tracking knob.

If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our

Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.

To test run the machine:

1. Make sure you have read the safety instruc-

tions at the beginning of the manual and that

you have followed all previous setup instruc

-

tions in this section.

2. Make sure all tools and objects used during

setup are cleared away from the machine

and that the wheel covers are closed and

latched.

3. Connect the machine to the power source.

4. Lower the upper blade guide assembly to

approximately 1" over the table.

5. Turn the variable speed dial counterclock-

wise (toward the SLOW side) all the way.

6. Turn the power key switch to the ON posi-

tion.

7. Press START, allow the bandsaw to run for

two seconds, then press STOP. This will give

the blade enough time to start tracking off the

wheel if the tracking is set incorrectly.

8. Look through the blade tracking window (see

Figure 21) and notice the position of the

blade on the wheel.

Test Run

Once the assembly is complete, test run your

machine to make sure it runs properly and is

ready for regular operation.

The test run consists of verifying the following:

1) The motor powers up and runs correctly, and

2) the key switch shuts off power power to the

machine when in the off position.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate

the source of an unusual noise or vibration,

stop using the machine immediately, then review

Troubleshooting on Page 44.
