Operation Replacing The Blade Replacing The Blade DANGER! Always shut off the resaw motor before changing the blade. Disconnect the power supply using the main switch. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. WARNING! Always wear gloves and eye protection whenever handling bandsaw blades.
Operation Tensioning The Blade Close the blade housing cover. Next, turn the tension handle until the blade is tensioned correctly. Tensioning The Blade See Figure 2-3. Turn the blade tension handle clockwise until the tension gauge indicates the recommended tension. Check the blade tension occasionally when adjusting the cant control or while cutting.
Operation Tracking The Blade See Table 2-1. The recommended tension for different blades is shown below. Blade Type Blade Dimensions Tension range Width (mm) Height (mm) 1.07 1015-1088 70-75 1.14 1088-1160 75-80 2735 1.07 1160-1233 80-85 TABLE 2-1 Tracking The Blade 1.
Page 30
Operation Tracking The Blade See Figure 2-5. To adjust where the blade travels on the blade wheels, use the cant control bolt. Cant Control Bolt FIG. 2-5 If the blade is too far out, back the blade onto the wheel by turning the cant control counterclockwise.
Operation Tilt Adjustment Tilt Adjustment See Figure 2-6. The saw head may be tilted to produce siding. Loosen the locking bolt. Turn the tilt adjustment screw clockwise to tilt the saw head upward or counterclockwise to tilt the saw head downward. Tilt Adjustment Screw Locking Bolt FIG.

Operation Blade Height Scale 2.10 Blade Height Scale See Figure 2-13. The blade height scale is mounted on the vertical mast. It includes: a blade height indicator centimeter scale (or quarter inch scale) Scale Blade Height Indicator 150028C FIG.
Page 38
Operation Blade Height Scale The Quarter Scale See Table 2-2. The quarter scale contains of four sets of marks. Each set represents a specific lumber thickness. Saw kerf and shrinkage allowance are included, but actual board thickness will vary slightly depending on blade thickness and tooth set. To choose which scale to use, determine what finished thickness you want to end up with.
Operation Water Lube Operation 2.11 Water Lube Operation See Figure 2-14. The Water Lube System keeps the blade clean. Water flows from a 5-gallon (18.9 liter) bottle through a hose to the blade guide where the blade enters the log. A valve in the bottle cap controls the amount of water flow. A stream of water flows to the blade only when the main motor is turned on.
Operation Operation Procedure 2.12 Operation Procedure 1. Install a blade if necessary. WARNING! Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling bandsaw blades. Changing blades is safest when done by one person! Keep all other persons away from area when coiling, carrying or changing a blade. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
Page 41
Operation Operation Procedure 11. Place the test material on the feed track and start the feed track. DANGER! Always be aware of and take proper protective measures against rotating shafts, pulleys, fans, etc. Always stay a safe distance from rotating members and make sure that loose clothing or long hair does not engage rotating members resulting in possible injury.

Alignment Pre-Alignment Procedures SECTION 4 ALIGNMENT Pre-Alignment Procedures Periodically check the machine alignment and adjust if necessary. This chapter explains how to align the entire machine. Care should be taken in performing these steps. Machine alignment determines the accuracy and squareness of your cuts. The machine alignment steps are: 1.
Alignment Blade Wheel Alignment 150060 3.0 mm (1/8”) ± 1 mm (3/64”) 1 1/4" Blade Blade FIG. 4-1 To adjust where the blade travels on the idle-side and drive-side blade wheel, See Section 4.4. Blade Wheel Alignment The blade wheels should be adjusted so they are level in the vertical and horizontal planes. If the blade wheels are tilted up or down, the blade will want to travel in the tilted direction.
Page 52
Alignment Blade Wheel Alignment wheel. See Figure 4-3. Use the vertical adjustment screws to adjust the drive-side blade wheel. To tilt the wheel, loosen the top adjustment screw one quarter turn. Loosen the jam nut on the bottom adjustment screw and tighten the screw.
Page 53
Alignment Blade Wheel Alignment Adjust vertical adjustment screws up to tilt idle-side blade wheel down; Adjust screws down to tilt wheel up Hr0075 FIG. 4-4 8. Recheck the vertical tilt of the idle-side blade wheel with the blade guide alignment tool. Readjust the blade wheel as necessary until the front and rear of the tool are the same distance from the bed rail (within 1/16"...
Page 54
Alignment Blade Wheel Alignment See Figure 4-6. Use the cant control adjustment to adjust the idle-side blade wheel. If the blade is too far forward on the wheel, turn the cant control counterclockwise. If it is too far back on the wheel, turn the cant control clockwise.
Aligning The Blade Guides Each Wood-Mizer machine has two blade guide assemblies that help the blade maintain a straight cut. The two blade guide assemblies are positioned on the saw head to guide the blade on each side of the material being cut.
Alignment Blade Guide Vertical Tilt Adjustment 3. Repeat for the other blade guide. NOTE: Be sure that the blade guard clears the blade on both guide assemblies. The guard on the outer guide assembly should be checked with the arm all the way in and all the way out. Blade Guide Vertical Tilt Adjustment Check that the blade guide does not tilt the blade up or down.
Alignment Blade Guide Spacing See Figure 4-10. Loosen jam nuts and turn screws Loosen jam nuts and turn screws to tilt roller up or down to tilt roller up or down SM0070 FIG. 4-10 8. Move the carriage forward so the back end of the tool is over the bed rail. 9.
Page 58
Alignment Blade Guide Spacing See Figure 4-11. Loosen one top and one side set screw 1,5 - 3,0 mm Adjust distance between roller and back of blade SM0071a FIG. 4-11 3. Retighten the two set screws. 4. Adjust the outer blade guide in the same way so the blade guide flange is approximately 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 - 3.0 mm) from the back of the blade.
Alignment Horizontal Tilt Adjustment Horizontal Tilt Adjustment 1. Finally, both blade guides must be tilted horizontally. Adjust the blade guide arm half way in. See Figure 4-12. Turn side set screws to adjust horizontal tilt FIG. 4-12 2. Place Blade Guide Alignment Tool against the face of the outer blade guide roller. 3.
Alignment Motor Drive Belt Adjustment 4.10 Motor Drive Belt Adjustment See Figure 4-13. Loosen the motor mounting bolts. Using the adjustment bolts shown below, adjust the drive belt until it has 7/16" (11 mm) deflection with a 8 lbs (3.6 kG) deflection force - in the case of E11 motor or 7/16"...
