Wiring Diagram
WARNING! This machine must be grounded.
Replacement of the power supply cable should only be done by
a qualified electrician.
Adjusting the Upper Blade Guide Bearings Parallel to the Blade
(Refer to page 17 parts diagram) This step may not be necessary, it is factory preset. If adjustment is
needed follow the steps below.
First slightly loosen part #162 (4 each) cap screw on rear of upper Bandsaw housing (see page 17 in
parts diagram) This will allow you to adjust the micro adjustment screws on part #164 (Guide
Bracket).
Next place a 3mm “L” wrench through one of the holes in part #169 (Guide Bracket Cover). Turning
clockwise on the left two holes will adjust the left bearings to the right. Turning clockwise on the right
two holes will adjust the right bearings to the left. Check bearings for parallel.
Lastly tighten parts #162 (4) on back of Bandsaws. Repeat steps if the bearings are still not parallel.
Adjust Upper Bearings Which Will Not Track Close to the Blade
(Refer to page 17 parts diagram)
If the right or left upper bearings do not adjust to within 1/32” of the blade, the guide post (part #157)
may need adjustment.
First slightly loosen parts #162 (4) on the back of the upper Bandsaw cabinet.
Next slide the upper guide post right or left until bearings are properly spaced on each side of blade.
Tighten part #162 (4) on the back of the upper Bandsaw cabinet.
Troubleshooting Cont.
Changing Bandsaw Tire
Use a putty knife to get underneath the tire and pull it up and away from the wheel. Work the putty knife all
the way around the wheel to loosen the tire. Then, use the putty knife as leverage to flip the tire over and
off of the wheel. Clean the inside of the groove, removing any dirt, debris or cement with lacquer thinner.
Soak the replacement tire in warm water to make it more flexible. Let tire dry and lay on top of wheel.
Start by setting the tire into the wheel groove at the top of the wheel. Using a putty knife, work the new tire
around the wheel, making sure not to slice the tire. If rubber cement is to be used, make sure to distribute
evenly. Having high spots between the wheel and the tire will cause a vibration and effect blade tracking.
