I am just putting in my first hours on this machine; so much to learn! I am very familiar with woodworking bandsaws but of course i expect differences in this machine. The instructions have me adjust the tilt of the wheel so that the tensioned blade protrudes from the wheel 1/8" at the gullets. I was able to do that for the adjustable wheel, the loading side one but the on actual drive wheel on the operator side the blade protrudes more like 1/4". A small difference, but is it important? As far as I can tell the only adjustment is on the loading side wheel.

Also had my first "blade hits metal" event; good to get that first one out of the way!
