Repeat the insertion of the paper between the
wheel shoulder and the blade until the paper is
cut in two pieces.
Note: You may have to repeat the check with the
paper several times before the blade and the
shoulder cut the paper into two pieces. Do not hurry
the adjustment. Patience and accuracy here will pay
off with better, more accurate, quieter cutting and
much longer machine and blade life.
When the paper is cut:
10. Turn the adjustment screws (F) slightly in the
counter-clockwise direction. This assures that
the blade is not touching the shoulder of the
wheel.
11. Shut off the saw.
12. Tighten the hex locking screws (E).
13. Install the blade-guide bearing bracket
assemblies (C, Fig. 13).
14. Position the guides so the top bearing just
touches the blade (see Blade Guide Bearing
Adjustment on page 16).
15. Close the wheel covers (K, Fig. 14).
Blade Guide Adjustment
Referring to Figure 15:
The J-7015 Bandsaw has two adjustable blade guide
assemblies, each consisting of the
blade guide
support or bracket (B, H)) and blade guide (A).
The position of the blade guides is important in order
to make accurate cuts and prolong blade life and is
determined by the size of the workpiece. Adjustment
is made as follows:
Left Blade Guide
1. Place the workpiece (G) in the vise (F) and
clamp tightly (refer to Work Setup on page 8).
2. Loosen the left lock knob (C) only.
3. Slide the guide support (D) left or right so that it
just clears the piece to be cut (G).
4. Tighten the lock knob (C).
Right Blade Guide
The right blade guide assembly is set at the factory
and rests against the stop (E). It normally does not
require adjustment, except to provide clearance for
workpieces to be cut at a great angle. If adjustment
is required, the procedure is the same as for the left
blade guide adjustment.
