9.2 Adjusting 90 Degree Table Stop
Referring to Figures 17 and 18:
Blade tension must be properly adjusted prior to
adjusting 90 degree stop. Refer to the Adjusting
Blade Tension section.
1. Loosen lock knobs (C) and tilt the table until it
rests against the table stop bolt (B); then re-
tighten the lock knobs.
2. Use a square (E) placed on the table and
against the blade to see if the table is 90
degrees to the blade.
3. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the lock
knobs (C). Tilt the table until it is square to the
blade; then re-tighten the lock knobs.
4. Loosen lock nut (A) and turn table stop bolt (B)
until it contacts the table. Tighten the nut (A) to
hold table stop in place. When tightening the
nut, hold the table stop bolt in place with a
wrench to prevent movement.
5. If necessary, adjust the pointer (D) to zero.
9.3 Speed Adjustments
Make sure the gearbox has lubricant at least
halfway up the sight glass (past the indicator mark).
Refer to page 23 for further information on oil level
and gearbox maintenance.
1. Disconnect band saw from power.
2. To change speeds, loosen the handle (A,
Figure 19) and use the lever (B, Figure 19) to
lift the gearbox/motor to release tension on the
belt. Re-tighten the handle with the gearbox in
raised position.
3. Open the lower door on the band saw and
move the v-belt to the desired set of pulleys.
Figure 20 shows the speeds achieved by the
three belt positions.
4. Loosen the handle (A, Figure 19) and lower the
gearbox. Set the belt tension by lightly pressing
down on the lever (B). The weight of the motor
and gearbox should put enough tension on the
belt; you just want to push down lightly to take
up any slack.
5. Tighten the handle (A).
6. Push in the clutch lever (C, Figure 19) to
engage the high speed pulley drive; or pull out
the clutch lever for low speed drive. See Figure
20 for clutch lever position in conjunction with
belt positions.
Never attempt to shift the clutch
mechanism while the saw is running. The saw
must be turned off before the clutch is shifted.
