START/STOP Switch

Guide Post

The START/STOP switch on the Model G0513X/ G0514X/G0514X3 is located on the column for easy access (Figures 37 & 38). Immediately turn the machine OFF if there becomes a safety hazard.

The guide post, shown in Figure 39, connects the upper blade guide assembly to the bandsaw. The guidepost allows the blade guide assembly to move up or down via a rack and pinion. In order to cut accurately, the blade guide assembly must be no more than 1" from the top of the workpiece at all times—this positioning provides the best support for the blade.
