Adjusting Guide Blocks
The upper and lower guide blocks must be properly positioned to accurately
guide the band saw blade. These blocks
should be close (but not tight) on the saw
blade and positioned slightly behind the gullet
of the blade.
Adjusting Wheel Bearing Guides
The wheel bearing guides are designed to
prevent the band saw blade from being
pushed off the wheels. These wheel-bearing
guides should be adjusted so that they are
just
touching the back of the blade when the
blade is riding on the center of the wheels.
Upper Fence Guard
The upper fence guard should be
positioned so that it is about 1/4" above the
high point of the meat being cut. The fence
lock knob as illustrated adjusts the guard.
Upper Blade Guard
The upper blade guard is a safety guard to
protect your hands and fingers from the
moving band saw blade and should be
positioned to do so. Loosening the knob will
allow the guard to be moved up or down.
