  • Page 13: Assembly

    Failure to comply could result in accidental starting and possible serious personal injury. Assembly is best done in the area where the saw will be used. When you remove the table saw base, loose parts, and hardware from the packing materials, check all items with the loose parts list and drawing.
  • Page 14 Ignoring these precautions can result in back injury. n Place the band saw on the leg stand. Align the holes in the saw base with the holes in the upper braces.
  • Page 15 Place a small combination square on the saw table beside the blade. n Loosen the bevel lock knob and rotate the bevel adjustment knob to tilt the saw table up or down to align table 90° to blade (0° position). Retighten the bevel lock knob.
  • Page 16 Make sure RapidSet™ Blade Tension Lever is in the locked position. See Figure 14. n Before using the band saw, turn the blade tension knob on the top of the saw clockwise to engage tension. Check blade tension by the sound the blade makes (similar to plucking a guitar string).

  • Page 17: Operation

    Before starting a cut, watch the saw run. If you experience excessive vibration or unusual noise, stop immediately. Turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw. Do not restart until locating and correcting the problem. CUTTING PROCEDURES n Hold the workpiece firmly against the saw table.
  • Page 18 AVOIDING INJURY n Make sure saw is level and does not rock. Saw should always be on a firm, level surface with plenty of room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece. n Bolt saw to the support surface to prevent slipping, walking or sliding during operations like cutting long, heavy boards.
  • Page 19 Using the extension scale on the saw table, extend the saw table to the desired position. n Lock the saw table in place by turning the table lock knob clockwise. USING THE MITER GAUGE See Figures 18 - 19.

  • Page 20: Adjustments

    USING THE RIP FENCE See Figure 20. n Unplug the saw. n From either side of the saw blade, slide the rip fence onto the saw table. Check for a smooth, gliding action. n Push the locking handle down to automatically align and secure the fence.
  • Page 21 Thread the blade through the saw table. n With the teeth of the blade toward the front of the saw and facing downward, place the blade through the lower blade guides and around the lower wheel.
  • Page 22 NOTE: The thrust bearing screw is the set screw located on the front of the blade guide support. It is the set screw on the front of the saw housing below the saw table for the lower bearing. n Remove the blade guard by loosening the two screws.
  • Page 23 The blade guides help keep the blade from twisting and binding. The blade will be ruined if the blade teeth hit the blade guides while using the band saw. The set of teeth and the sharpened edge of teeth will be damaged by hitting the blade guides.
