Assembly Figure 9 Some sheet metal parts may have sharp edges that can cause minor cuts. Please use care while han- dling them. The bandsaw is heavy and awkward to lift onto the stand. Get assistance from another person when lifting. Figure 9.
Adjustment Overview Figure 19 Adjustment procedures include: Figure 19. Figure 20 Important: Make sure you re-install the table pin. This pin keeps the table surfaces on either side of the slot even with the chang- es in operating pressures and temperature changes.

To center track the blade: Dust Collection Page 22 Adjusting Blade Guide Bearings Page 26 Note: When adjusting the blade tracking for the test run in this procedure, the blade must have a reasonable amount of tension to sim- Figure 24 ulate operating conditions.
Dust Collection Power Connection DO NOT operate this bandsaw without an ade- quate dust collection system. This bandsaw creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collec- tion system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

Adjusting Blade Support Bearings Figure 30 Important: The blade is tracking and tensioned correctly before performing this procedure. Tool Needed Figure 30. Figure To adjust the support bearings: Figure 29 Figure 29 Figure 31 Figure 29. Figure 31.
Tip: To quickly gauge this setting, fold a crisp dollar bill in half twice (when folded tightly, Figure 33 four thicknesses of a dollar bill is approxi- mately 0.016"). Place the folded dollar bill between the support bearing and the blade, as shown in Figure 32.
Table Tilt Calibration Figure 35 Note: When the blade guide bearings are properly adjusted against the blade, they Figure 36 should rotate smoothly as the blade moves. Figure 35. Figure 36.

Crosscutting Resawing Figure 54 Blade Lead To make a crosscut: Figure 53 Figure 54. When resawing thin pieces, a wandering blade (blade lead) can tear through the side of the workpiece, exposing your hands to the blade teeth. Always use push blocks when resawing and keep your hands clear of the blade.
