To adjust the positive stop so the table will be 90°
to the blade:
1.
Loosen the two star knobs and check-nut
securing the positive stop adjusting bolt (Part
#56). See Figure 15.
2.
Raise the upper blade guide assembly and
stand a 6" machinist's square or try-square
on the table next to the side of the blade.
Adjust the positive stop adjusting bolt to raise
or lower the table until the table is 90° to the

To adjust miter slot parallel to the bandsaw blade:
1.
Loosen the six trunnion bolts (Part #9)
underneath the table.
2.
Set an adjustable square to gauge the dis-
tance between the blade and the miter slot.
Slide the square along the miter slot and
inspect for any discrepancy along the blade.
3.
Adjust the table in the desired direction and
secure position by re-tightening the trunnion
bolts.
The table should also be 90° to the back of the
blade. If the table is not perpendicular to the back
of the blade, shim the table in the desired direc-
tion by placing washers between the table and

the two trunnions. Remove the trunnion bolts and
add washers so the table tilts in the desired direc-
tion. Electrical washers are very thin and will
allow fine adjustment.
DO NOT make adjustments while the band-
saw is running. Ensure that the switch is off,
power is disconnected and moving parts
have stopped before making adjustments.
Failure to comply could result in serious
personal injury or machinery damage.
Test Run
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are
done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test
the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
Press the START button. Make sure that your fin-
ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case
there is a problem. The bandsaw should run
smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing
noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be
investigated and corrected before operating the
machine further.
If noises occur that cannot be found by visual
inspection, feel free to contact our service depart-
ment for help.
Keep your finger on the STOP button, just in
case there are any problems with the
machine. Turn the machine off IMMEDIATE-
LY if you suspect there is something wrong.
