ADJUSTING THE TABLE STOP

The tool is equipped with an adjustable table stop (A)

Fig. 26 that allows the table to be set at 90 degrees to

the blade.

Tilt the table (C) Fig. 26 to the left until the table stop (A)

Fig. 26 contacts the table. Place a square on the table

against the blade (Fig. 27). Check to see if the blade is

90 degrees to the table surface. If not, then do the

following:

1. Tilt the table slightly to the right and tighten the table

lock knobs.

2. Loosen the locknut (B) Fig. 26 to free the adjusting

screw (A) Fig. 26. Turn the adjusting screw (A) right or left

to raise or lower the table stop, then tighten the locknut

(B).

3. Lower the table. Check to see that the table is 90

degrees to the blade (Fig. 27).

4. When the table is 90 degrees to the blade, check the

pointer (E) Fig. 26 to see if it points to 0°. If not, loosen

the screw (F) Fig. 26 and move the pointer to 0°. Tighten

the screw.

ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION

CAUTION: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER

SOURCE.

The Band Saw is equipped with a tension handle (A) Fig.

28. To apply tension, move the tension handle (A) Fig. 28

to the right as shown. To release the blade tension,

move the tension handle (A) Fig. 29, to the left as shown.

To adjust the blade tension, the blade tension handle

must be in the right as shown in Fig. 28. A series of

graduations is located on the back of the upper wheel

slide bracket. These graduations indicate the proper

tension for various widths of blades. With the blade on

the wheels, turn the knob (A) Fig. 30 to raise or lower the

wheel, until the red fiber washer (B) Fig. 30 is in line with

the proper graduation for the size of the blade used.

These graduations are correct for average work, and will

not be affected by rebrazing of the saw blade. Use these

graduations until you become familiar enough with the

operation of the band saw to vary the tension for

different kinds of blades or work.

IMPORTANT: OVER-STRAINING IS A COMMON

CAUSE OF BLADE BREAKAGE AND OTHER

UNSATISFACTORY BLADE PERFORMANCE.

RELEASE THE TENSION WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN

USE.
