I have a Bulldog brand 10" bandsaw. I recently replaced the blade (old one broke). The new blade ran okay for awhile, but now comes off of the pulleys/wheels after just a few seconds of operation. I don't have a manual, and can't find one online. If you know how to adjust the blade tracking, or whatever it takes to fix this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
If you don't know this specific bandsaw, do you know a book or website that you can recommend for generic bandsaw information that might guide me in the right direction so I can fix this?
Thanks in advance for your help!

if you just replaced the blade and everything was working fine before,, then all you need to do is tighten the tensioner knob. since you don't have a book,, find the place were a lot of blade is free,, tighten the knob until you have about 1/4 play,, look on and behind the saw and see if you don't have a dial indicator!! this tells you the different settings for different baldes!!! try wood magazine.com and look in the section for cleaning and maintaining tools,, also Delta tools has a good section and a great CD that shows how to maintain all their tools.. If you like I could try and copy it and send it to you,,email me,, cen41962@centurytel.net

There should be a knob that you turn to adjust the tracking on the blade. It should be right in view.
