Blade-to-Vise
Squareness
The
To adjust the blade-to-vise squareness:
1.DISCONNECT THE BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2.Make sure the blade is oiled, tensioned, and tracking correctly, and that the guides and stops are set.
3.Raise the bow, move the headstock to zero (Figure 53) and lower the bow.
Note: On the G0613 only one blade guide can be tilted, and on the G0614 both will need to be tilted.
5.Slide both blade guards as far as you can apart and lock into place.
Note: On the G0614, to access the cap screws on the other blade guide, remove the two Phillips head screws securing it, then move the limit switch and its bracket out of the way.
6.Loosen the two cap screws, then alternately adjust the four 4mm set screws to tilt the blade guide assembly and the blade square the vise. See Figure 55 or 56 for your model of bandsaw.

4.Place a quality square against the vise and
the side of the blade (Figure 54) to verify the blade is square with the vise.
