User Responsibility

This accessory is designed and intended for use on band sawing machines and will perform in conformity with the
description contained in this manual. This accessory or any of its parts should not be altered from standard

improper use or unauthorized modification from standard specifications, faulty maintenance, damage or improper repair

Important
Before installing the Precision Blade Guide, the saw band guard must be
shortened by 45 mm, so the blade can still be changed when the Precision
Blade Guide is installed.
Loosen wing nut (135) and set blade guard ass'y (12) to lowest position, until
standard roller guide ass'y rests on the table. Remove the 4 raised countersunk
head screws (212) with Philips #2 screwdriver. Use a hacksaw to cut off
45 mm from the saw band guard as indicated in the drawing below.
Reinstall saw band guard.

requires lowering the band saw table.

the Precision Blade Guide installed
the maximum height of cut is reduced
by 15 mm.
