Blade Guides
The rear blade guide should be as close to the
workpiece as possible. This will help ensure
straight cuts by keeping the blade from twisting
and drifting off the cut line.
To adjust the rear blade guide:
1. Loosen the knob shown in Figure 24 and
slide the rear blade guide as close to the
workpiece as possible, then tighten the
knob.

The front blade guide has a wire brush that makes
contact with the blade to help clear away chips
and extend blade life (see
Figure 25).

Coolant System
FIRE HAZARD! DO NOT
cut magnesium when
using oil-water solutions
as a cutting fluid! Always
use a cutting fluid intend-
ed for magnesium. The
water in the solution will
cause a magnesium-chip
fire.
This bandsaw has a built-in coolant system that
extends the life of your bandsaw blades by lower-
ing the temperature of the blade and workpiece. It
also has a convenient spray gun to help you clean
the saw at the end of the day.
See
Cutting Fluid on Page 27 for additional
information.
To use the coolant system:
1. Access the reservoir by removing the front
panel (see Figure 26).
2. Thoroughly clean and remove any foreign
material that may have fallen inside the res-
ervoir during shipping.
3. Fill the reservoir with your chosen cutting fluid
solution and replace the front panel.
