The support bearings are positioned behind
the blade for support during cutting operations.
Proper adjustment of the support bearings is an
important part of making accurate cuts and also
keeps the blade teeth from coming in contact with
the guide bearings while cutting.

1. Make sure the blade is tracking properly and

that it is correctly tensioned.

2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3. Familiarize yourself with the upper support

bearing controls shown in
