Adjusting Angle Stops
The swivel base is equipped with three angle stops to provide quick adjustments to 45°L, 0°, and 45°R (Figure 42). If cuts made using these stops are not sufficiently accurate, the stops will need to be adjusted.

To adjust the angle stops:
1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2.Rotate the headstock to the right approximately 10°, engage the 0° angle stop by flipping it towards the vise, then rotate the headstock to the left until it stops against the 0° stop. Tighten the headstock lock lever.
3.Lower the headstock, then place a square flat on the table and against both the stationary jaw and the blade, as shown in Figure 43.

5.Loosen the headstock lock lever, rotate the headstock so that the blade is square to the vise, then
6.Adjust the stop bolt as needed until it just touches the cast iron swivel base, as shown in Figure 44, then snug the jam nut against the stop block without turning the stop bolt.
7.Repeat this procedure for the 45°R and 45°L stops using a square and a 45° triangle (or an adjustable square), as shown in Figure 45.
