To center track the blade: Setup Procedures Test Run Adjusting Page 20 Blade Guide Bearings Page 29 Note: When adjusting the blade tracking, the blade must have a reasonable amount of ten- Page 16 sion to simulate operating conditions. After Page 17 the Test Run is successfully completed, you Page 19...
Note: When the tracking knob is rotated, the lower portion of the upper wheel will tilt out or in, which affects the way the blade tracks. Figure 12 Steps 6–8 Page 29 Figure 12. Adjusting Positive Stop To correctly set the positive stop: Figure 13 Figure 13.
Dust Collection Test Run DO NOT operate the Model G0701 without an adequate dust collection system. This saw creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collec- tion system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.
Note: When the foot brake is used, a "kill" Additional switch stops the flow of power to the machine. Adjustments It is the steady pressure on the foot brake that quickly brings the blade to a full stop. Test Run Page 23 Page 23 Page 24...

Aligning Table Figure 24 To align the table with the blade: Page 22 Page 16 Figure 25 Figure 24. Figure 25. Page 16 Page 29 NOTICE When not in use, move the tension quick release lever to the left to release blade tension, which will increase blade life and reduce machine wear.
Page 29
Note: If you choose, you can remove the two lower cap screws and the upper hex bolt that secure the blade guard, then have another person hold the guard out of the way while Figure 35 you adjust the upper blade guide and support bearings.
Adjusting Blade Guide Bearings Upper Blade Guide Bearings Page 22 Figure 41. Page 16 Figures 40–41 Figure 40 Page 26 Figures 40–41 Note: Ideally, the bearings should be approx- imately 0.004" away from the blade, which is approximately the thickness of paper. Figure 40.

Operation Overview Cutting Overview Operation To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following: Basic Cutting Tips Here are some basic tips to follow when oper- ating the bandsaw:...
Workpiece Inspection Before cutting wood, get in the habit of inspecting all workpieces for the following: Material Type: Figure 46. Foreign Objects (Figure 46): Large/Loose Knots: Wet or "Green" Stock: Figure 47. Excessive Warping: Because of its unpredictable nature, use extreme caution if cutting warped stock.
Foot Brake Table Tilt Figure 48 Personal injury or death can occur if the bandsaw starts during table adjust- NOTICE ment. Disconnect power The foot brake will not stop the bandsaw from the bandsaw before wheels and blade instantly. DO NOT become performing table adjust- over confident and relax your safety aware- ments.
Guide Post Figure 50 Fine Tune Tracking NOTICE Adjusting the final blade tracking setting requires the machine to be turned ON. To adjust the guide post: To fine tune the tracking: Figure 51 Figure 50 Figure 50. Figure 51. Page 32 Figure NEVER place fingers or hands under the motorized blade guide assembly.
