SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE TABLE
WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED
STARTING, MAKE SURE POWER CORD IS UN­
PLUGGED BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO
BANDSAW PARTS.
To assu re repeatability and accuracy, it is important
to square the blade to the table and adjust the 0°
position stop. This will guarantee that the blade will
return to the square position after the head has been
moved for a bevel cut.
1. Locate the 1/4-20 x 1/2 oval point setscrew and
use an 1/8-inch hex “L" wrench to install it in the
hole located at the left front of the rear table. The
setscrew has a lock patch that will make it hard to
turn.
2. Slide the upper blade guard to its top most
position and tighten knob.
3. Release bevel lock by pulling out bevel lock knob
under left front edge of table.
4. Place a combination square on the table against
the blade. Adjust the position of the blade to the
table by turning the handwheel. When the blade
is flush against the combination square lock the
bevel lock knob. Use a 1/8-inch hex “L” wrench
to set the O'* stop. Turn screw until it makes
contact with the frame.
5. Unlock bevel lock, bevel the blade, then return to
0° position. Push in bevel lock knob and recheck
blade to make sure it is square to the table.
NOTE: The combination square must be 'true"
— see the beginning of the unpacking and
checking contents section for checking the
combination square procedure.
