Feed Stop

It may be necessary to adjust the feed stop before making blade adjustments. The blade should never rest on or rub on any part of the vise assem- bly or table.

To adjust the feed stop bolt:

Adjust the feed stop bolt and jam nut (Figure 64), so the bandsaw blade teeth are just below the vise table surface when the cut is complete.

Limit Switches

The upper travel auto stop can be adjusted to limit saw bow travel to match the height of the workpiece. This speeds up repetitive cuts by eliminating unnecessary saw bow travel.

The lower limit switch should only be adjusted if the blade is not passing entirely through the workpiece or is cutting into the vise table.

To set the upper travel auto stop and lower limit switch:

1.Raise the saw bow to the highest level required to provide adequate clearance for your workpiece.

2.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3.Loosen the auto stop knob, adjust the posi- tion of the auto stop so it depresses the upper limit switch button, then re-tighten the auto stop knob. The saw bow will now automati- cally stop when raised to this level (Figure 65).
