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 the positive stop:
1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2.Adjust the blade tension to the appropriate level for the blade size on the blade tension scale (see Page 21).
3.Loosen the jam nut that locks the positive stop bolt in place.
