Blade Guide

Model SB1019

O P E R A T I O N

For Machines Mfg. Since 8/09

Blade Guide

The upper blade guide should be positioned as close to the workpiece as possible for all cutting operations. The support provided by keeping the blade guides close ensures straight cuts by keeping the blade from twisting and drifting off the cut line.

To adjust the blade guide:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Loosen the knob shown in Figure 31 and slide the blade guide as close to the workpiece as possible, then re-tighten the knob.

Vise Quick Release

The Model SB1019 has a quick release lever

(Figure 33) on the vise that allows the operator to quickly open and close the vise jaws for repetitive cuts in a production setting.

To use the vise quick release:

1.Open the vise sufficiently for the workpiece, then rotate the quick release lever to the locked position (fully counterclockwise).

2.Place the workpiece into the vise, then use the handwheel to securely clamp the workpiece.

3.Between cuts, rotate the quick release lever to the released position (fully clockwise) to release the workpiece.

If you use the vise without the quick release function, make sure you keep the quick release lever in the locked position to prevent it from interfering with the headstock during operation.
