To tilt the table forward or backward:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Use a 6mm hex wrench to loosen both sets
of cap screws on the two feed angle tilt scale
brackets (see Figure 23).
3. Using the two scales, adjust the angle of the
table for cutting a compound angle, then re-
tighten the cap screws.
Tilting Table
The bandsaw table tilts 15° to the left and 15° to
the right for basic cut angles, and 10° to the front
and 10° to the back for feed angles. When used
together, compound angled cuts can be made.
To tilt the table left or right:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Use an 8mm wrench to loosen the two cap
screws on the cut angle trunnion underneath
the rear of the table (see Figure 23).
3. Using the cut angle tilt scale, adjust the
angle of the table for your operation, then re-
tighten the cap screws.

Being able to quickly and safely weld a bandsaw
blade comes in handy for the following situations:
s 4O
s 4O
s 4O
Your metal cutting bandsaw is equipped with a
blade welder that uses electrical current to heat
and fuse the blade ends together. This process
will leave the joint brittle, so an annealer is
also included to give the blade strength and
flexibility.
Blade Welding
To weld the ends of blade together:
1. Turn the bandsaw motor OFF.
2. Place the blade evenly against the back of
the blade shear and firmly pull the handle
down to square off the blade end (see Figure
24).
Figure 24. Using the blade shear to cut the blade.
The electric current that flows through the
blade welder during operation could cause
serious personal injury or death. To reduce
the risk of electrocution or burns, never touch
any metal part of the welding station or blade
during welding or annealing.
