BLADE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

The bandsaw is capable of operating at 80, 120 or 200 FPM. The speed can easily be adjusted by changing the

v-belt placement (Fig. O).

To change the blade’s speed:

1. Loosen the motor lock bolt (Fig. P - 1) to allow the motor to pivot freely.

2. Raise the motor to relieve the belt tension and position the belt into the desired pulley alignment.

3. Release the motor and let ts weight tension the belt.

4. Tighten the motor lock bolt back against the frame of the band saw.

HEAD LOCK PIN

The head locking pin (Fig. Q - 1) safely secures the head in the down position. To ensure the head does not unex-

pectedly spring up and tip the bandsaw over, this locking pin must be properly inserted when the band saw is not

in use or before moving it.

To use the head locking pin, fully lower the head down. Insert the locking pin through the holes in the head pivot

arm and base, locking the head into the down position (Fig. Q).
