Initial Assembly

The machine is supplied partly assembled. Prior to use, the following items have to be installed: bandsaw table, star knob (blade tensioning) and rip fence.

WARNING: To avoid injury, do not attempt to run or use this machine until all parts are assembled and working properly.

Installing the Table

Centering the Table

a. Loosen the four bolts mounting the table to the upper trunnion. (A-Fig. 4)

b. Move table sideways as required, until saw blade runs through the center of table insert.

c. If the adjustment of “b” is not enough to center the table, loosen the bolts holding the lower table trunnion and move the table sideways to place the table in the center. (B-Fig. 4)

d. Re-tighten trunnion bolts, recheck blade position.
Setting the Table Square with the Saw Blade
Loosen the wing nut and place a suitably sized square
against the saw blade. If table requires adjustment, proceed
as follows:
a. Using a 10mm wrench, release lock nut on the table stop.
b. Place wrench on bolt and adjust until table is set square
to blade.
c. Tighten M10 lock nut and recheck blade and table for
squareness.
d. Lock table into position and check that pointer reads zero
degrees on side of trunnion. Loosen then screw securing
pointer and reset if necessary to give zero degree reading
(See Fig. 5).	6
