Assembly And Adjustments - DeWalt DCS371 Instruction Manual

Blade Tracking (Fig. 2)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn tool off and remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
NOTICE: Excessive tightening of the adjustment screws could result
in damage to the saw.
Your band saw is equipped with an adjustable blade tracking
mechanism which assures proper blade tracking at all times. The
blade is properly adjusted when it is centered on the guide rollers (G)
and the teeth of the blade (J) are 3/16" (0.38 mm) from the edge of
the guide roller.
TO ADJUST THE BLADE TRACKING
1. Turn and open the blade tension lever (I) to allow access to the
tracking screws (O).
2. Use a 10 mm wrench to loosen the adjustment locking nuts (H).
3. Use a 3 mm hex wrench (E) to turn one of the tracking screws
(O) 1/4 turn clockwise. Turn the other tracking screw 1/4 turn
clockwise.
NOTE: Turning the tracking screw clockwise moves the blade
toward the guide roller, turning the tracking screw counterclockwise
moves the blade away from the guide roller.
4. Tighten both the adjusting locking nuts and close the quick
release lever. (It will be necessary to run the saw to observe the
tracking.)
5. Observe blade tracking between runs and repeat Steps 1–4 as
necessary to achieve proper blade tracking.
