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 ma[...]

16 Installing/Changing Blades Always wear gloves when handling blades. Ne w blades are usually packaged in a coiled position; to prevent injury uncoil them slo wly and carefully, while wearing gloves and safety glasses. 1. Disconnect machine from powe r source. 2. Decrease blade tensio n by rotating blade tension handwheel (A, Fig ure 14) according[...]

17 Changes in blade width and the type of material being cut will have an effect on blade tension. Keep in mind that too little or too mu ch blade tension can cause blade breakage and/or poor cutting performance. TIP: When the band saw is not being use d, slightly release the tension on the blade – this will prolong the blade’s life. Make a not[...]

18 Upper Blade Guide Assembly 1. Disconnect machine from powe r source. 2. Loosen lock knob (see B, Figure 14) an d raise or lower upper blade guide a ssembly by turning the handwheel (C, Figure 14). 3.

(When cutting straight lines with a narrow blade, [...]

26 Set The term “set” refers to t he way in which the saw teeth are bent or po sitioned. Bending the teeth creates a kerf that is wider than the back of the blade. Set patterns are usually selected depending upon the type of material that needs to be cut. Three common set patterns are sho wn in Figure 37. Generally, the Raker set is used for cu[...]
