Squaring Blade

The blade-to-table squareness is factory set. However, due to shipping and storage we recom- mend that you check the blade alignment yourself to ensure the cuts will be to your standards.

To square the blade:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Make sure the blade is oiled, tensioned, and tracking correctly, and that the guides and stops are set.

3.Adjust the cutting angle to 0° as indicated by the scale.

Figure 56. Bow and headstock moved to zero.

4.Place a quality square on the table and the side of the blade (Figure 57) to verify the blade is square with the table.

—If the blade is not square, continue with Step 5 below.

5.Extend the blade guide as far as possible.

Note: Perform the following step on both the upper and lower blade guides at the same time to maintain even force on the blade with each blade guide.

6.Loosen the two cap screws on each blade guide assembly, then alternately adjust the four 4mm set screws to tilt the blade guide assembly and the blade square to the table.
