Test Run

After all preparation steps have been completed, the machine and its safety features must be tested to ensure correct operation. If you discover a problem with the operation of the machine or its safety components, do not operate it further until you have resolved the problem.

Note: Refer to Troubleshooting on Page 35 for solutions to common problems that may occur with metal-cutting bandsaws. If you need additional help, contact our Tech Support at (360) 734-1540.

To test run your machine:

1.Read and follow the safety instructions at the beginning of the manual, take the re- quired safety precautions, and make sure the machine is assembled set up properly.

2.Clear away all tools and objects used during assembly and preparation.

3.Open the downfeed valve (Figure 13) and allow the headstock to travel all the way down. If the blade contacts the machine base, adjust the downfeed stop bolt.
