TABLE INSERT

Place table insert (A) Fig. 14, in the hole provided in the table, making sure the pin (B) in the table engages one of the indents in the table insert.

TILTING THE TABLE

The table on your band saw can be tilted 45 degrees to the right and 10 degrees to the left. To tilt the table, loosen the two lock knobs (A) Fig. 15, tilt the table to the desired angle and tighten the two lock knobs (A).

ADJUSTING TABLE STOP

The band saw is equipped with an adjustable table stop (A) Fig. 16, that allows the table to be set perfectly at 90 degrees with the blade.

Tilt the table to the left until the table stop (A) Fig. 16, contacts the bottom of the table. Place a square on the table and against the blade as shown in Fig. 14, and check to see if the blade is 90 degrees to the table surface. If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:

1.Tilt the table slightly to the right and tighten table lock knobs.

2.Turn adjustment nut (B) Fig. 16, right or left as necessary to raise or lower table stop (A). IMPORTANT: Certain models of band saws will have an additional locknut assembled to the end of the table stop (A) Fig. 16, directly under casting (C). Loosen locknut and turn adjustment nut (B) right or left as needed to raise or lower the table stop (A). Tighten locknut after adjustment is made.

3.Lower the table and make certain the table is 90 degrees to the blade as shown in Fig. 17.

4.It is necessary to remove the adjustable table stop (A) Fig. 16, when tilting the table to the left.
