SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE TABLE

WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED

STARTING, MAKE SURE POWER CORD IS UN- PLUGGED BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO

BANDSAW PARTS.

To assu re repeatability and accuracy, it is important to square the blade to the table and adjust the 0° position stop. This will guarantee that the blade wi II return to the square position after the head has been moved for a bevel cut.

1.Locate the 1/4-20 x 1/2 oval point setscrew and use an 1/8-inch hex "L" wrench to install it in the

hole located at the left front of the rear table. -The setscrew has a lock patch that will make it hard to turn.

2.Slide the upper blade guard to its top most position and tighten knob.

3.Release bevel lock by pulling out bevel lock knob under left front edge of table.

4.Place a combination square on the table against the blade. Adjust the position of the blade to the

table by turning the handwheel. When the blade is flush against the combination square lock the bevel lock knob. Use a 1/8-inch hex "'L"wrench

to set the 0° stop. Turn screw until it makes contact with the frame.

5.Unlock bevel lock, bevel the blade, then return to 0° position. Push in bevel lock knob and recheck blade to make sure it is square to the table.

NOTE: The combination square must be "true" -- see the beginning of the unpacking and checking contents section for checking the combination square procedure.
