Adjusting Laser Sight; Replacing Laser Sight Batteries - Grizzly G0803Z Owner's Manual

To correct blade lead:
1. Make sure blade is properly tensioned and
blade guides are adjusted correctly.
2. Use less pressure when feeding workpiece
through cut.
3.
Make sure miter slot and fence are parallel to
blade line (see Aligning Table and Aligning
Fence procedures for detailed information).
4.
Perform test cut with bandsaw.
— If there is still blade lead present, com-
pensate for this condition by skewing the
fence or shifting the table, as instructed in
the following procedures.
To skew fence:
1.
Cut a piece of scrap wood approximately
thick x 3" wide x 17" long. On wide face of
board, draw a straight line parallel to long
edge.
2.
Slide bandsaw fence out of way and cut
along the line halfway through the board.
Turn bandsaw OFF and wait for blade to
stop. Do not move board.
3.
Clamp board to bandsaw table, then slide
fence over to board so it barely touches one
end of board.
4. Loosen the two fence adjustment cap screws,
skew fence so that it is parallel with scrap
piece, then re-tighten cap screws.
5. Make a few cuts using fence.
— If blade lead is still present, repeat
Steps 1–4 until blade and fence are paral-
lel with each other.
