  • Page 19 NOTE: Blade Guide Bearings (88, 92, 100, 104) adjustment is a critical factor in the performance of the Bandsaw. It is always best to try a new Saw Blade (82) to see if it will correct poor cutting before attempting to adjust the Blade Guide Bearings. For example, if a Saw Blade becomes dull on one side sooner than the other, it will begin cutting crooked.
  • Page 20 Adjusting The Blade Tracking: Raise the Saw Head to its full vertical position, making sure it locks in position by turning the Support Plate (150) to the right until it firmly locks into the Body Frame (60) and inserting the Locking Pin (153). (See Figure M.) Turn on the Bandsaw.
  • Page 21 (127) clockwise to decrease the feed rate or counterclockwise to increase the feed rate. Do not turn the Handle more than one turn at a time. Excessive feed pressure can break the Saw Blade (82). Insufficient feed pressure dulls the Saw Blade rapidly. (See Figure U.)
  • Page 22 Body Frame and inserting the Locking Pin (153). (See Figure W, next page.) Once all necessary adjustments to the Bandsaw have been made, plug the Power Cord Plug into the nearest 120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet. SKU 93762 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. (90, 102)
  • Page 23 When cutting a large workpiece, make sure its entire length is properly sup- ported. If necessary, use a roller stand (not included) with a larger workpiece. Allow the Saw Blade (82) to turn up to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the Saw Blade. (See Figure W.) WARNING! Always keep hands and fingers safety away from the cutting area.
  • Page 24 Once the cut is made, turn the Power Switch (164) to its “OFF” position. Then, unplug the Power Cord Plug from its electrical outlet. (See Figure W.) Wait until the Saw Blade (82) comes to a complete stop. Then, remove the work- piece and scrap material from the Vertical Cutting Plate (189).
  • Page 25 (82) tension or machine vibration. If this is found, turn off the Bandsaw and correct the problem before using. (See Figure X.) Allow the Saw Blade (82) to turn up to full speed before feeding the Saw Blade into the workpiece. (See Figure X.) WARNING! Always keep hands and fingers safety away from the cutting area.
  • Page 26 If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment. Before each use, inspect the Saw Blade (82). Using a dull Saw Blade will cause excessive wear on the Motor of the Bandsaw and will not produce a satisfactory cut.
  • Page 27 F. NOTE: The Bandsaw is equipped with a 64” diameter, .025” thick, 15/32” wide, 14 teeth per inch Saw Blade (82). The machine will also accept Blades in 4, 6, 8, and 10 tooth sizes. The choice of Blade pitch is determined by the thick- ness of the material to be cut.
