Extension Cords
Use only three wire extension cords that have
Make sure the cord is in good condition, and heavy enough to carry the current your band saw will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Figure 25 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and the ampere rating on your machine’s nameplate. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
Adjustments
Unplug the machine from the power source before making any repairs or adjustments. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
Tilting the Table
1.Loosen two lock knobs (Figure 26).
2.Tilt table up to 45 degrees to the right or up to 10 degrees to the left. The angle can be read on the scale mounted to the trunnion.
3.Tighten two lock knobs (Figure 26).
Note: Table stop must be removed to tilt table to the left.
Adjusting 90° Table Stop
1.Disconnect machine from power source.
2.Loosen lock knobs (Figure 26) and tilt table left until it rests against the table stop.
3.Use a square placed on the table and against the blade (Figure 27) to see if the table is 90 degrees to the blade.
4.If an adjustment is necessary, loosen lock knobs, tilt table to the right, and lock in place.
