Adjustments
Table Tilt
1.Loosen the lever (Figure 10).
2.Rotate the handwheel (Figure 10) clockwise to tilt table up to 45 degrees to the right, or counterclockwise to tilt the table up to 10 degrees to the left (as viewed from the operator’s position).
NOTE: If you tilt the table to the left, you must first remove the stop screw from the machine, shown in Figure 12.
3.Tighten the lever (Figure 10).
NOTE: The lever, shown in Figure 10, can be pivoted so that it doesn’t contact the band saw surface. Simply lift straight out on the lever and rotate it on the pin, then release it making sure it seats itself on the pin.
90° Table Stop
The 90° stop, shown in Figure 12, ensures the table will always be perpendicular to the blade after the table is returned to horizontal position.
Check and adjust this 90° stop as follows:
1.Disconnect machine from power source.
2.Loosen lever (Figure 10) and tilt table left until the stop screw rests against the metal platform of the Band Saw, as shown in Figure 12.
3.Place a square on the table and against the blade to check that the table is 90° to the blade. See Figure 11.
4.If table and blade are not square, loosen lock nut (Figure 12) with a 14mm wrench, and turn the head of the stop screw with a 17mm wrench. Turn the screw as needed until there is no longer light showing between the square and the blade.
5.Tighten lock nut (Figure 12) to secure the table stop in position.
6.Tighten the lever (Figure 10).
7.Check that the scale pointer (Figure 10) is at zero. If necessary, loosen the screw on the pointer and shift the pointer to zero. Tighten the screw.
