Step 4 Re-tighten the Hex screw (F), see fig 72. When all
adjustments have been made, recheck that when the blade is
pressed back against the thrust bearing, both the upper and
lower side guides are still behind the teeth of the saw. When all
adjustments are complete, close both upper and lower doors
and clear away all tools around the machine.
Step 5 Re-connect the power, move the 'Electro-magnetic
motor brake selector switch' to the run position (2), see fig 75
and press the 'GREEN' button to start the saw. Allow the
bandsaw to run for several minutes, check that the blade is
still tracking correctly, there is no excessive vibration, etc. After
several minutes switch off and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
