Dust chute Setup (Optional)
If you wish to attach a dust collector to this
Bandsaw, attach the Dust Chute (94A) to
the Lower Wheel Guard (69A) using the
Screws (95A). See Figure 26, right.
Saw Blade Tensioning and Tracking
1. The Saw Blade tension is adjusted using
the Blade Adjusting Knob on the back of
the Inner Wheel Guard (28A). Turn the
Knob clockwise to increase tension and
counterclockwise to decrease tension.
Note: Too much tension is a common
cause of Saw Blade breakage and other
unsatisfactory performance. Relieve the
tension when the Bandsaw is not in use.
2. Adjust Upper and Lower Blade Guides so that they
do not contact the blade during tracking adjustment.
3. Loosen the nut on the shaft of the
Blade Tracking Knob (18A).
