FEATURES
Saw Blade

Saw Table with Throat Plate
Your band saw has a square 11-3/8 in. (28.9 cm) aluminum
saw table with tilt control for maximum accuracy. The throat
plate, installed in the saw table at the factory, allows for blade
clearance.
Scale and Scale Indicator
The scale and scale indicator show the angle or degree the
saw table is tilted for bevel cutting.

Your band saw has an easy access power switch. To lock in
the OFF position, remove the yellow switch key. Place the
key in a location inaccessible to children and others not
qualified to use the tool.

Loosening the table lock handle allows the saw table to be
tilted at different angles. Tightening the table lock handle
locks the saw table in place.
