Blade Tension

Blade tension is covered in the Changing Blades
section on page 15.

Limit Switch Adjustment

Refer to Figure 14.
The J-9180 bandsaw should shut off automatically
when a cut is completed. If not, the limit switch (A)
located below the control panel (Figure 1) probably
needs to be adjusted as follows:
Disconnect the cut-off saw from
its electrical power source.
1. Place the saw in the lowered position to repres-
ent the completion of a cutting operation.
The microswitch wheel (E) should be pressed
against the plate (F) which is attached to the
hydraulic cylinder bracket (G). If this is not the
case, make a note of how much the switch
assembly (A) should be repositioned upwards.
2. Using a crosspoint screwdriver, remove two
screws (C) and the switch (A) from its mounting
plate (B).
3. With a 3mm hex wrench, loosen two screws (D)
and reposition the mounting plate (B) as
determined in step 1.
4. Tighten the mounting plate screws (D) and
reinstall the switch assembly (A).
5. Test to verify that the bandsaw shuts off when a
cut is completed. If it does not, repeat above
steps.
