Converting The Bandsaw For Vertical Use:1. NOTE: Notching, slitting, and contour work is best
done with the Bandsaw in its vertical position.
2. Raise the Saw Head to its full vertical position, mak-
ing sure it locks in position by turning the Hydraulic
Cylinder (20) to its “OFF” position. (See Figure
O.)
3. Remove the two Screws (141), and remove the Small
Vertical Cutting Plate (142). (See Figure P.)
4. Guide the Saw Blade (127) through the slot in the
Large Vertical Cutting Plate (182), and secure it in
position with the two Screws (141). (See Figure
P.)

Adjusting The Blade Guide Bearings:NOTE: Blade Guide Bearings (133) adjustment is a critical factor in the performance
of the Bandsaw.
It is always best to tr y a new Saw Blade (127) to see if it will correct poor cutting
before attempting to adjust the Blade Guide Bearings. For example, if a Saw Blade
becomes dull on one side sooner than the other, it will begin cutting crooked. A
Saw Blade replacement will correct this problem, whereas Blade Guide Bearings
adjustment will not.
If a new Saw Blade does not correct the problem, check the Blade Adjustable Seats
(134, 143) to obtain the proper clearance. (See Figure Q, next page.)
