5.Tilt the table until the blade and table top are perpendicular, then tighten the trunnion cap screws.
6.Loosen the scale pointer for the cut angle scale (on the trunnion) and point it to zero.
7.Loosen the feed angle cap screw and place the machinist's square against the back of the blade.
8.Position the table perpendicular to the blade.
9.Tighten the feed angle cap screws.
10.Loosen the pointer for the feed angle scale, and point it to zero. The table and blade are now calibrated.
Guide Post Alignment
If the blade guide post does not raise and lower exactly parallel with the blade, the clearances between the blade guides and blade will change as the guide post is moved, causing rubbing, wear, and blade deflection. Blade guide clearance must stay the same when the guide post is raised

and lowered along its full length of travel.
To align the guide post:
1. | DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER! |
2. | Make sure the blade tracking and tension |
| are set correctly. |
3. | Lower the blade guide post to the bottom of |
| its travel and lock it in place. |

4. Adjust the blade guides as described on |
Page 26. |
5. Unlock the post just enough to allow it to |
slide, move it all the way up, then examine |
the clearances between the blade and blade |
guides to see if they changed. |
If these clearances changed beyond your |
acceptable tolerances, the blade guide |
receiver (Figure 42) can be adjusted to fix |
this condition. |

7.Using a 5mm hex wrench, adjust the four set screws to tilt the blade guide receiver in the required direction.
8.Tighten the cap screws and recheck blade guide clearance along the guide post path of travel.
9.Repeat this procedure if necessary to fine- tune the guide post travel to acceptable tolerances.
