ADJUSTING BAND SAW BEVEL TRAVEL
tf the band saw will not hold its position when at a

is necessary to correct the force required to bevel
the band saw

locate the three (3) capscrews holding the frame to
the motor mount The capscrews are located in the
recessed area behind the hub of the lower wheel at
the 2 oclock, 6 o'clock, and t0 o'clock positions Use
a 3i16_inch hexagonal "L" wrench that has a 4-inch
leg, reach between the spokes of the lower wheel to
the capscrews Adjust the capscrews equally until
the bevel action is smooth and the saw will hold its
position before the bevel lock is locked
