Table Tilt
the table can be tilted when making angle or
bevel cuts.
Note: When tilting the table to the left, the positive
stop bolt must be lowered. Be sure to re-adjust it
when returning the table to be perpendicular with
the blade.

1. diSConneCt BAndSAW From poWer!
2. loosen both table lock knobs underneath the
table.
3. Use the table tilt scale underneath the front of
the table or a protractor against the table and
blade to tilt the table to the desired degree,
then re-tighten the lock knobs.
Guide Post
the guide post, shown in the figure below, con-
nects the upper blade guide assembly and blade
guard to the bandsaw.
the guidepost allows these compo nents to be
positioned above the workpiece at a distance that
provides the greatest support to the blade and
minimizes operator exposure to the blade. We
recommend positioning the blade guides so that
they just clear the workpiece.
To adjust the height of the guide post:
1. make sure that the blade tension, blade
tracking, support bearings, and blade guide
bearings are adjusted correctly.
2. diSConneCt BAndSAW From poWer!
3. loosen the guide post lock knob, then adjust
the height of the guide post so that the blade
guide assembly just clears the workpiece.
4. re-tighten the lock knob to secure the set-
ting.
