ADJUSTING THE TABLE POSITIVE STOPS

Positive stops are provided for the table at the 90 and 45 degree angle to the blade. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

1.Tilt the table to the 90 degree position as shown in Fig. 27, and tighten lock handle (A) Fig. 28. Place a square (H) Fig. 27, on the table and against the blade and check to see if the blade is 90 degrees to the table surface. If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:

2.Tilt the table slightly as shown in Fig. 26, to expose lock nut (E) Fig. 27. Loosen lock nut and return table to the 90° position. With the lock handle (A) Fig. 28 loose, turn adjusting screw (F) Fig. 27, using the wrench (G) provided until the blade is 90 degrees to the table. Then tighten lock nut (E) Fig. 27, and lock handle (A) Fig. 28.

3.Tilt the table to the 45 degree position as shown in Fig. 28. Place a square (H) on the table and against the blade and check to see if the blade is 45 degrees to the table surface. If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:

4.Loosen lock nut on adjustment screw (J) Fig. 28, located on the underside of the table. With lock handle

(A) Fig. 28 loose, turn adjustment screw (J) using wrench

(G) provided until the blade is 45 degrees to the table. Then tighten lock handle (A), and lock nut on adjustment screw (J).

ADJUSTING BELT TENSION

If the drive belt on your band saw needs adjustment, proceed as follows:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

The belt (A) Fig. 29, drives the blade wheel pulley from the motor pulley. The belt (A) is properly tensioned when there is approximately 1/4" deflection in the center span of the belt using light finger pressure. If belt tension needs to be adjusted, loosen two screws (B) Fig. 30, and rotate motor accordingly. Tighten screws (B) when adjustment is completed.
