NOTICE
Whenever changing a blade or adjusting ten-
sion and tracking, the upper and lower blade
support bearings and guide blocks must be
properly adjusted before cutting operations.
3. Position the blade guides so that the edges
of the bearings are just behind the blade gul-
lets as illustrated in
Figure 25.
The table needs to be positioned 90˚ to the blade
so the trunnion scale pointer can be correctly set.
To adjust the trunnion scale pointer:
1. Make sure the blade is tracking properly and
is correctly tensioned.
2. Disconnect the machine from the power
source!
3. Loosen the two knob bolts that secure the
table trunnion to the side of the bandsaw
(
Figure 26).
