Wilton 7015 User Manual

Refer to Figures 13 and 14. 

Blade tracking has been set and tested at the 
factory. Adjustment is rarely required when the blade 
is used properly or if the blade is correctly welded.  

If adjustment is needed: 

1. Using the blade tension handwheel (D), make 

sure the blade is properly tensioned. 

Note: Blade tensioning is described in the
Changing Blades section on page 18). 

Keep proper tension at all times. 

2. Raise 

the 

saw head (A) as shown. 

3. Open 

the 

wheel guards (B). 

4.  Remove both of the blade-guide bearing bracket 

assemblies (C). 

5. Loosen 

three 

hex locking screws (E) in the head 

weldment (G). 

6.  Start the saw. Turn the adjustment screws (F) to 

tilt the idler wheel (Figure 14) until the blade is 
touching the shoulder of the idler wheel. 

Note: As a general rule, make the same adjustment
to the two adjustment screws on the right (F). The 
single adjustment on the left is independent. 

7.

Next, turn the adjustment screws (F) so the 
blade starts to move away from the shoulder of 
the wheel – then immediately turn the 
adjustment screws in the other direction so the 
blade

stops – then moves slowly toward the 

shoulder. 

8. Turn the adjustment screws (F) to stop the 

motion of the blade on the wheel as it gets 
closer to the wheel shoulder.  

Put a 6-inch length of paper (J, Fig. 14) between 
the blade and the wheel as shown (the saw is 
still turned on). The paper should not be cut as it 
passes between the wheel shoulder and the 
blade.

9. Turn 

the 

adjustment screws (F) slightly.
