  • Page 8: Operation

    OPERATION BEFORE OPERATING YOUR BANDSAW please read manual carefully BLADE GUIDE BEARING ADJUSTMENT This is the most important adjustment on your saw. It is impossible to get satisfactory work from your saw if the blade guides are not properly adjusted. The blade guide bearings for your Metal Cutting Bandsaw are adjusted and power tested with several test cuts before leaving the factory to ensure proper setting.
  • Page 9 CHANGING SPEED When using your Band Saw, always change the blade speed to best suit the material being cut. 1. Disconnect power. Open the pulley guard cover. Loosen the lead screw. You can now change the position of the belt to gain the desired speed. Re-set the belt tension to allow 1/2" depression of the belt when pressed in the middle of its longest run.
  • Page 10 ADJUSTING THE BLADE TRACKING This adjustment has been completed and power-tested at the factory. The need for adjustment should rarely occur when the saw is used properly. If the tracking goes out of adjustment the blade will leave the wheel and damage will result. Increase blade tension.
