Resawing

To perform a resawing operation:

1.Make sure the blade is installed and ten- sioned correctly. See “Installing Blade” on Page 19 for more information.

2.Make sure the blade is tracking correctly. See “Adjusting Blade Guides” on Page 20 for more information.

3.Turn the control panel POWER ON switch clockwise to supply power to the machine.

4.Set the blade height at the control panel. See “Setting Blade Height” on Page 25. Note—The accuracy of the blade height shown on the digital display can only be assured if the calibration process has been performed. See Page 25 for more informa- tion on calibrating the digital display.

5.Press the MOTOR START button to start the bandsaw blade.

6.Push the infeed conveyor engagement lever forward to start the infeed conveyor. Turn the infeed conveyor speed dial counter- clockwise to increase the speed and clock- wise to decrease the speed. See “Conveyor Controls” on Page 24 for more information.

7.Recheck the blade tension.

8.Make sure the workpiece has two sides that are relatively flat and parallel with each other.

9.Begin feeding the workpiece under the front pressure rollers with the jointed edge against the guide rollers, as shown in Figure 23.

10.Watch the load meter (Figure 24) at the top of the control panel. The meter displays the amperage load that is being placed on the machine. Adjust the infeed conveyor feed rate until the meter reads between 25-30 Amps during the cutting operation.

11.Receive the workpiece on the outfeed side of the machine. Note—If a second person is receiving the workpieces, use the return conveyor to send them back to the person on the infeed side.
