Adjustment
Setting the Table Square to Saw Blade
The table may be set at 90° to the saw blade sides by
adjusting the table stop screw under the table. The table
stop screw rests on the top of the quick release
adjustment stop. By first loosening the locking nut (A--Fig.
5) and then adjusting the screw (B--Fig. 5), the table can
be set correctly. Retighten the locking nut (A--Fig. 5)
making sure that the setting is maintained.
The table may also be set at 90° to the back of the saw
blade by adjusting the trunnion micro adjustment screws.
First, slightly loosen parts 97 and 98 (refer to parts
explosion pg. 16 in this manual). Using the 3mm “L”
wrench, turn the rear trunnion micro adjusting screws.
(Clockwise will raise these screws; counterclockwise will
lower these screws). Check table for 90° and tighten parts
97 and 98.
Tilting the Table
Loosen the lock handle (A--Fig. 6) on the table trunnion.
Turn the table tilting knob (B--Fig. 6) to adjust the table to
the desired angle. Use the angle indicator scale on the
trunnion bracket to find the desired angle. Retighten the
lock handle to secure the table.
Tracking the Saw Blade
WARNING! Unplug the Bandsaw. First, make sure the
upper and lower blade guides are adjusted away from the
blade and the tension scale is set to correspond to the
width of the blade you are using.
Then loosen the lock lever (Fig. 7) by turning it counter
clockwise and turn the blade tracking knob (Fig. 7)
clockwise/counterclockwise while turning the upper wheel
by hand at least three rotations until the blade tracks
centered on the wheel. Finally, tighten the lock lever and
close the doors.
Adjusting the Blade Tension
To loosen the tension of the blade, turn the blade tension
handwheel (Fig. 8) counter clockwise. To tighten the
tension of the blade, turn the blade tension handwheel
clockwise.
Tension the blade until the tension readings correspond to
the width of blade you are using by viewing through the
tension indicator window (Fig. 8).
