Title: blade wobble
Post by: arkiewood on October 25, 2017, 08:40:09 pm

I haven't been on here for quite a while due to health issues. I am back into scrolling now and just started using my Hawk again. It is an older one 220 two speed. It seems the blade is wobbling side to side. Is there and adjustment for this or maybe a worn out part?

Do you have tensioned right and not to loose.

Yes sir I am pretty sure I am adjusting it right. The top blade holder does have some wiggle to it. I wonder if that is my problem. I may replace it and see if that fixes the problem

check the bearings at the pitman arm. if you've got any movement at all, replace them. If you don't, it will progress to bigger issues.
