ADJUSTMENTS

Location of Controls

Take the time to familiarize yourself with the controls of your new bandsaw. They will be fre- quently mentioned throughout the instructions in this manual, and the better you know your machine, the better you can make it perform. Figures 24, 25 and 26 point out the key con- trols and their locations.

DO NOT adjust the band- saw while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a complete stop before proceeding!
