Positive Stop
Personal injury or death can occur if the bandsaw starts during table adjust- ments. Disconnect power from the bandsaw before performing table adjust- ments.
The positive stop allows the table to be quickly and accurately returned to the horizontal (0˚) posi- tion after being adjusted to a different angle.
To set up the positive stop:
1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2.Locate the positive stop bolt under the table as shown in Figure 19.
3.Loosen the jam nut on the positive stop bolt.
4.Raise the upper blade guide to the highest position.
