14.Check the clearance between the table and the fence. The fence should not rub against the table surface but be slightly above it. This gap should be the same at the front of the table as it is at the rear. See Figure 4.

15.If the gap between fence and table is not consistent, loosen either of the hex nuts on the hook (Figure 5) and rotate the sliding pad until the fence/table gap is consistent across the full length of the table. When this is achieved, tighten both hex nuts.

16.Check the adjustment of the hook at the rear of the fence. The hook should be positioned so that it overlaps the rear rail by approximately 1/8”. See Figure 5. To adjust the hook, loosen the upper hex nut (Figure 6) and slide the hook in or out as needed. Re-tighten upper hex nut.

Dust Collection

The use of a dust collection system is strongly recommended for this band saw. It will help keep the shop clean as well as reduce any potential health hazards caused by inhalation of wood dust. The collector should have a capacity sufficient for this size machine (minimum of 600 CFM).

Attach the hose of the dust collector to the 4” dust port below the band saw table (Figure 6). Secure with a hose clamp or duct tape.

NOTE: Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for wood dust collection.

Grounding Instructions

Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury.

This machine must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment- grounding conductor to a live terminal.
