Adjusting The Rip Fence; Installing The Saw Blade - Invicta SFI-80 Operator's Manual

Band Saw Mod. SFI-80
Adjusting the Belts
The belt tension adjustment is changed by bolt "N" and nut "O", as shown in figure page 06. Do not over tighten or
premature belt wear will occur. Use just enough tension so that the belt does not slip under heavy cutting.
Adjusting the Table
Your machine is equipped with a fixed stop at 90º. To readjust this setting, loosen nut "L" and turn bolt "M" (Page
06) to the desired position. Relock nut "L" correctly.
Adjusting the Table Tilt
The work table will tilt up to 45º to the right. To adjust this feature, proceed as follows: loosen nut "K", tilt the table
to the desired position and retighten (Page 05)

Adjusting the Rip Fence

Loosen the adjustable handle "E" and move the rip fence "D" (Page 05) in the desired direction to achieve the
proper cutting dimension. Lock in position using handle "E".

Installing the Saw Blade

1. Turn the blade tension adjusting knob "I" (Page 05), and lower the top blade wheel.
NOTE: Safety guard "R" must be removed to install the saw blade (Page 06). Replace the safety guard when blade
is in place.
2. Tensioning the saw blade "F" (Page 05) is achieved by turning knob "I" to the correct setting.
NOTE: Correct blade tensioning is necessary for the blade to remain on the wheels when cutting. Release the saw
blade tension if the machine will not be used for an extended period of time. This will increase the blade life.
3. Perfect alignment of the saw blade on the rubber covered wheel is reached by turning screw "C" (Page 05) with
the 8mm Allen wrench. Blades should normally track center of the wheel.
