OPEN

The upper blade consists of a thrust bearing that supports the band saw blade from the rear and two guide bearings that provide lateral adjustment. These guide bear- ings need to be adjusted after every band saw change or any tracking adjustment. The upper blade guide protects against unintentional contact with the saw blade.

For the upper blade guide to provide adequate protection against contact with the band saw blade, it must always be set as close as possible against the work piece (maximum distance 1/8 inch).

Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments. Failure to do so can cause electrical shock, injury or death.

ADJUSTING THE THRUST BEARING

The thrust bearing must be adjusted after every band saw blade change or tracking adjustment.

1.Loosen the thrust bearing locking screw with the Allen key supplied.

2. Adjust the bearing position until it is 1/32-inch away from the band saw blade. When the band saw blade is turned by hand, it should not contact the thrust bearing.

3. Tighten the thrust bearing locking screw.
