ADJUSTING THE TABLE
1. Locate among the loose parts a 5/16"-18" x 3/8"
socket head flat point setscrew and a knurled head
screw. The knurled head screw keeps the table in align-
ment. Screw it into the tapped hole underneath the
front edge of the table.
2. The socket head screw acts as a 90 ° stop. Screw it
partially into the tapped hole in the top of the table
on the left side. Use the 5/32" setscrew wrench.
3. Raise the blade guides all the way up.
4. Loosen the table lock slightly and push down on the
left side of the table until it touches the frame of the
band saw.
5. Screw in the stop screw and notice that as it touches the
frame, the table will start to tilt.
6. Place a square on the table against the blade and con-
tinue to screw in the stop screw until the table is square
with the blade. Tighten the table lock.
7. Find the pointer and a pan head screw 8-32 x I/4 inches
long and attach the pointer. Set at 0 degrees and tighten
the screw.
