Page 25: Blade Tracking
remove the table insert and the table pin from the table, if these are pre-installed. With the blade teeth pointing downward, slide the blade through the table slot. slide the blade through the upper and lower blade guides, and mount it over the upper and lower wheels. -
Page 26: Positive Stop
positive Stop personal injury or death can occur if the bandsaw starts during table adjust- ments. Disconnect power from the bandsaw before performing table adjust- ments. the positive stop allows the table to be quickly and accurately returned to the horizontal (0˚) posi- tion after being adjusted to a different angle. -
Page 27: Dust Collection
Dust collection DO NOT operate this bandsaw without an adequate dust collection system. This saw 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. Recommended cfM at Each Dust port: Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. -
Page 28: Fence Adjustment
To adjust the fence parallel to the miter slot: Move the fence to the right side of the saw blade. loosen the 4 cap screws located on the top face of the fence. -
Page 29: Test Run
Test Run once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly. if, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review the Troubleshooting on page 40. -

Page 35: Fine Tune Tracking
fine Tune Tracking NOTICE Adjusting the final blade tracking setting requires the machine to be turned ON. To fine tune the tracking: perform the Blade Tracking procedure on page 19. Close the wheel covers and turn the bandsaw observe the blade tracking path through the clear window on the right edge of the bandsaw as shown in figure 37. -
Page 36: Ripping
Ripping ripping is the process of cutting with the grain of the wood stock. For plywood and other pro- cessed wood, ripping simply means cutting down the length of the workpiece. To make a rip cut: adjust the fence to match the width of the cut on your workpiece and lock the fence in place. -
Page 37: Resawing
Joint one face of the workpiece on a jointer. using a push paddle, slowly feed the workpiece through the saw blade as shown in figure 35. the jointed face of the workpiece must be against the fence during this opera- tion. -
Page 38: Stacked Cuts
Stacked cuts one of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to cut multiple copies of a particular shape by stack- ing a number of workpieces together. Before mak- ing stacked cuts, ensure that both the table and the blade are properly adjusted to 90°. otherwise, any error will be compounded. -
Page 39: Blade Information
refer to figure 44 to locate the correct v-belt position for the desired blade speed. figure 44. v-belt speeds. Move the v-belt to the desired pulley. rotate the motor to tension the v-belt, then tighten the motor mount cap screws. Check the v-belt tension. -
Page 40: Tooth Pitch
Straight Cutting: use the largest width • blade that you own. narrow blades can cut tight curves (a small radius) but are not very good at cutting straight lines because they naturally wander (blade lead). however, larg- er blades are much better at cutting straight lines, but function poorly at cutting small curves because of their size. -
Page 41: Blade Changes
Always disconnect power to the machine when changing blades. failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. All saw blades are dan- gerous and may cause personal injury. To reduce the risk of being injured, wear leather gloves when handling saw blades. -

Page 50: Checking V-Belt
checking V-Belt to ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade, the v-belt must be in good condition and operate under proper tension. the belt should be checked for cracks, fraying, and wear. Belt tension should be checked at least every 3 months—more often if the bandsaw is used daily. -

Adjusting Tension Lever the quick release tension lever is setup cor- rectly for use with the preinstalled 131 however, if you install a different length blade, you will need to adjust the tension lever adjustment screw (figure 59) so the quick release tension lever works correctly. -
Page 53: Blade Lead
Blade Lead Bandsaw blades commonly wander off the cut line when sawing, as shown in figure 61. this is called blade lead. Blade lead is commonly caused by too fast of a feed rate, a dull or abused blade, or improper tension. if your blade is sharp/undam- aged and you still have blade lead, perform the following instructions. -

Page 56: Adjusting Lower Wheel
Adjusting Lower Wheel only do this procedure if you cannot make the wheels coplanar with the tracking knob or by shimming the upper wheel. Make sure the upper wheel is adjusted as close as possible to being coplanar with the lower wheel before beginning. do this procedure with the blade fully tensioned. - Page 57 loosen the guide post lock knob, lower the guide post to within 1" of the table top, then tighten the knob. place a machinist's square on the table next to the right hand side of the guide post, as shown in figure 66. figure 66.
