To perform a resawing operation:
1. Make sure the blade is installed and ten-

See “Adjusting Blade Guides” on Page 20
for more information.
3. Turn the control panel POWER ON switch
clockwise to supply power to the machine.
4. Set the blade height at the control panel.
See “Setting Blade Height” on Page 25.
Note—The accuracy of the blade height
shown on the digital display can only be
assured if the calibration process has been
performed. See
Page 25 for more informa-
tion on calibrating the digital display.
5. Press the MOTOR START button to start the
bandsaw blade.

Resawing
10. Watch the load meter (Figure 24) at the top
of the control panel. The meter displays the
amperage load that is being placed on the
machine. Adjust the infeed conveyor feed
rate until the meter reads between 25-30
Amps during the cutting operation.
11. Receive the workpiece on the outfeed side
of the machine. Note—If a second person
is receiving the workpieces, use the return
conveyor to send them back to the person
on the infeed side.
