clockwise direction. The blade (26) should run
with its teeth at the front edge of the tire on
the blade pulley (8). If not, the tilt angle of the
upper blade pulley (8) must be corrected.
•
If the blade (26) tends to run to the back of
the blade pulley (8), i.e. towards the machine
frame (25), turn the setting screw (22) anti-
clockwise while turning the blade pulley (8) by
hand until the blade (26) runs in the middle.
•
If the blade (26) tends to run to the front edge
of the blade pulley (8), turn the setting screw
(22) in a clockwise direction.
•
After setting the upper blade pulley (8) you
need to check the blade (26) position on the
lower blade pulley (7). The blade (26) should
run in the middle of the blade pulley (7), as
above. If it does not, you will have to adjust
the tilt of the upper blade pulley (8) again.
•
Turn the upper blade pulley several times
until the adjustment to the upper blade pulley
(8) has an effect on the blade position of the
lower blade pulley (7).
•
After any adjustments have been carried out,
the side covers (12) must be closed again
and re-secured with the fasteners (13).
6.4. Setting the blade guide (Fig. 7 - 10)
Whenever you change the blade you must re-set
both the support bearings (30 + 31) and the guide
pins (28 + 29).
•
Undo the fasteners (13) and open the side
cover (12).
6.4.1. Upper support bearing (30)
•
Undo the screw (33).
•
Move the support bearing (30) so that it is no
longer touching the blade (26). There should
be a maximum gap of 0.5 mm.
•
Re-tighten the screw (33).
6.4.2. Adjusting the lower support bearing
(31)
•
Remove the saw table (15) or tilt it 45°.
•
Swing the blade guard (34) away.
•
Adjust in the same way that the upper support
bearing was adjusted. The blade (26) is only
supported by the support bearings (30 + 31)
during cutting. When idle the blade should not
touch the ball bearing.
6.4.3. Adjusting the upper guide pins (28)
•
Undo the Sockethead screw (35)
•
Move the mount (36) of the guide pins (28) so
that there is a gap of approx. 1 mm between
the front edge of the guide pins (28) and the
GB
gullet of the blade in front.
•
Re-tighten the Sockethead screw (35).
•
CAUTION! The blade will be rendered usel-
ess if the teeth touch the guide pins while the
blade is running.
•
Undo the Sockethead screws (37).
•
Move the guide pins (28) towards the blade
so that there is a gap of approx. 0.5 mm bet-
ween the guide pins (28) and the blade (26).
The blade must not jam.
•
Re-tighten the Sockethead screws (37).
•
Turn the upper blade pulley (8) several times
in a clockwise direction.
•
Check the setting of the guide pins (28) again
and re-adjust if necessary.
6.4.4. Adjusting the lower guide pins (29)
•
Dismantle the saw table (15).
•
Undo the screw (48).
•
Move the mount (32) of the guide pins (29) so
that there is a gap of approx. 1 mm between
the front edge of the guide pins (29) and the
gullet of the blade in front.
•
Re-tighten the screw (40).
•
CAUTION! The blade will be rendered usel-
ess if the teeth touch the guide pins while the
blade is running.
•
Undo the screws (38).
•
Move the guide pins (29) towards the blade
so that there is a gap of approx. 0.5 mm bet-
ween the guide pins (29) and the blade (26).
The blade must not jam.
•
Re-tighten the Sockethead screws (38).
•
Turn the lower blade pulley (7) several times
in a clockwise direction.
•
Check the setting of the guide pins (29) again
and re-adjust if necessary.
6.5. Adjusting the upper blade guide (11)
(Figure 11)
•
Undo the fixing handle (20).
•
Turn the setting wheel (19) to lower the blade
guide (11) as close as possible to the workpi-
ece to be cut. The gap should be approx. 2-3
mm.
•
Re-tighten the fixing handle (20).
•
Check the setting before each cut and re-
adjust if necessary.
