9.2 90º Table Stop Adjustment
9.2.1 Adjusting table stop
Refer to Figures 9 and 10.
The table stop (C, Figure 9) is typically set to stop
the table at 90º (perpendicular) with the blade.
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Loosen lock knob (A, Figure 9); then tilt table
down, bringing it to rest against table stop (C,
Figure 9).
3. Use a square (E, Figure 10) placed on the table
and against the blade, to verify that table is 90º
to blade.
4. If an adjustment is necessary, tilt table up to
access table stop (C, Figure 9).
5. Loosen jam nut (D, Figure 9) and turn table stop
in or out to raise or lower the stop. Tighten the
jam nut to hold table stop in place.
6. Tilt table back to level, letting it rest against the
stop and confirm table is 90º with the blade as
described in step 3.
For left tilt down to 5º, the table stop (C, Figure 9)
must be adjusted further.
9.2.2 Adjusting table tilt indicator
1. Set table at 90º with blade.
2. Confirm that table tilt indicator (F, Figure 10)
points to zero.
3. If adjustment is required:
4. Slightly loosen screw securing indicator, adjust
indicator to point to zero; then re-tighten screw.
9.3 Changing blades
Blade teeth are sharp. Use care
when handling the saw blade. Failure to comply
may cause serious injury.
Note: The JWB-10 Band Saw comes equipped with
a factory-installed 67.5" x 0.375" x 0.014", 6TPI
blade (Part No. JWBS10OS-8).
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Open upper and lower doors (Figure 11) by
rotating the knobs.
3. Loosen lock knob (G, Figure 10) and pull
extension (H, Figure 10) away from table.
4. Remove guide rail (E, Figure 6).
5. Release tension on blade by moving tension
handle (Q, Figure 12) to the right.
Refer to Figure 11:
6. Remove blade from upper and lower wheels
(K,L) and from between upper and lower blade
guides (M,N).
7. Remove blade through slot (O) in table.
8. Guide the new blade through table slot (O)
leading with the smooth edge. Place it around
the upper and lower wheels and into the upper
and lower blade guides (M,N).
9. Note: The blade teeth should face the operator,
and they should point down toward the table.
10. Position the blade to track in the middle of the
rubber tires on the wheels (M,N).
11. Engage tension on the blade by moving quick
tension handle (Q, Figure 12) to the left.
12. Replace guide rail (E, Figure 6).
Before operating the saw, check that the blade is
