NOTICE
Lead adjustments will change when new
blades are mounted on the saw.
NOTICE
If the table is shifted, the fence will need
to be re-aligned, and the blade guides and
blade support will need to be re-adjusted.
3. Clamp the board to the bandsaw table with-
out moving it. Now slide the fence over to
the board so it barely touches one end of the
board.
4. Loosen the four cap screws on top of the
fence.
5. Skew the fence so it is parallel to the edge of
the scrap piece. You may need to re-adjust
the fence locking mechanisms to gain maxi-
mum adjustment.
6. While maintaining the skew, tighten the cap
screws.
To shift the table:
1. On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is
perpendicular to the front edge.
2. Cut halfway through the board on the line by
pushing it into the blade.
3. Turn the bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade
to stop.
4. Loosen the the table mounting bolts, shift the
table to compensate for the blade lead, then
retighten the bolts.
5. Repeat Steps 1–4 until the blade cuts
straight.
