10.Blade installation is opposite of removal. Once the blade is installed, remember to ten- sion it appropriately, set the blade guides, and replace the V-belt.

Make sure all components that were removed have been placed back in their original position, are adjusted correctly, and all guards are in place before you plug the bandsaw back into the power outlet. An injury may occur if this caution is ignored.

Support Bearing

The support bearing backs the blade during oper- ation. As mentioned in the “Blade Guard” instruc- tions, the blade guide assembly (with the support bearing) should be within an inch from the mate- rial you are cutting to be most efficient.

The support bearing shown in Figure 34 should be approximately .016" away from the back of the blade. This is about four thicknesses of a dollar or a dollar folded twice. To adjust the support bear- ing, loosen the support bearing shaft thumbscrew and slide the support bearing forward or back- ward as necessary.

Test Run

Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to start the machine.

Press the START button. Make sure that your fin- ger is poised on the STOP button as shown in Figure 35, just in case there is a problem. The bandsaw should run smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further.

Run the Model G5787 for a short time to ensure that the moving parts are working properly with no excessive vibration. If any problem develops, correct it before attempting to use the machine.

If you cannot locate the source of unusual noises, immediately contact our service department for help.
