Adjustments
Fence Movement
To move the fence toward or away from the saw
blade, loosen the lock handle (A, Figure 10) and
rotate the knob (B, Figure 10).
A millimeter scale is inscribed on the edge of the
rack (C, Figure 10).
After adjustment, re-tighten lock handle (A,
Figure 10).
Spring Tension
The amount of tension directed against the
workpiece is controlled by the spring, and is
adjustable. Regulate the tension on the spring
by turning the hex nut, shown in Figure 11. Turn
the hex nut clockwise to increase tension,
counterclockwise to decrease tension.
Arm Positioning
The arm of the Stock Feeder can be pulled
away from the blade and secured there by
pushing up the stop rod (Figure 11) into the hole
in the bracket. NOTE: Make sure the stop rod is
pushed up as far as it will go into the hole.
To release the arm, pull back slightly on the
handle of the Stock Feeder, and pull the stop
rod downward out of the hole. Carefully allow
the arm to swing back toward the blade.
The arm will swing back
toward the blade with force when the spring
is tensioned. Guide the arm back without
letting it hit the saw blade.
Rollers to Blade Distance
The distance of the serrated rollers to the band
saw blade can be fine-adjusted with the hex
nuts (Figure 12).
1. Loosen outer hex nut (B, Figure 12).
2. Pull back on the Stock Feeder arm, and
turn the inner hex nut (A, Figure 12) as
needed.
3. Lock the setting by tightening the outer hex
nut (B, Figure 12) up against the inner hex
nut (A, Figure 12).
