  • Page 8 ADJUSTMENTS & OPERATION Blade Selection This bandsaw is equipped with a saw blade that is adequate for a variety of jobs on a variety of common materials. Refer to Fig. 8 below for the speeds recommended for various materials. These speeds, while appropriate for many common cutting needs, do not encompass the wide variety of special blade configurations (tooth pitch and set) and special alloys for cutting unusual or exotic materials.
  • Page 9 ADJUSTMENTS & OPERATION Blade Break-In Procedures New blades are very sharp and, therefore, have a tooth geometry which is easily damaged if a careful break-in procedure is not followed. 1) Clamp a section of round stock in the vise. The stock should be two inches or larger in diameter. 2) Operate the bandsaw at low speed.
  • Page 10 ADJUSTMENTS, OPERATION SERVICE & MAINTENANCE Setting the Blade Guide Bar Height The bandsaw has an adjustable blade guide bar (diagram# 31). The blade guide bar allows you to set the blade guide for varying heights of workpieces. To make accurate cuts and prolong blade life, the blade guide bar and blade guide assembly should be set one inch above the piece to be cut.
  • Page 11 ADJUSTMENTS, OPERATION SERVICE & MAINTENANCE Blade Guide Bearing Adjustment Proper adjustment of the blade guide bearings is critical to efficient operation of the bandsaw. The blade guide bearings are adjusted at the factory. They should rarely require adjustment. When adjustment is required, readjust immediately. Failure to maintain proper blade adjustment may cause serious blade damage or inaccurate cuts.

    SERVICE & TROUBLESHOOTING Chip Brush and Chip Scraper Replacement The purpose of the chip brush and chip scraper is to remove chips from the saw teeth, the saw blade and the lower blade wheel so an excessive amount of chips do not get into the wheel guard section of the saw. With extended use, this brush and/or scraper will become worn and will require replacement.
