Positive Stop

Personal injury or death can occur if the bandsaw starts during table adjust- ments. Disconnect power from the bandsaw before performing table adjust- ments.

The positive stop allows the table to be quickly and accurately returned to the horizontal (0˚) posi- tion after being adjusted to a different angle.

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Adjust the blade tension to the appropriate level for the blade size on the blade tension scale (see Page 21).
