ADJUSTMENTS & OPERATIONS
CHANGING BLADES
1. Unplug power cord.
2. Remove the table insert and table pin from the table.
3. Open upper and lower wheel covers.
4. Loosen the upper and lower ball bearing blade guide systems.
5. Loosen the rod lever knob (quick change saw blade system) on rear of
bandsaw. (A, Fig. 5)
6. Remove the blade by guiding it through the table slot.
Important: Make sure the teeth of the new blade are pointing downwards.
7. Guide the new blade through the table slot, place blade in upper and
lower ball bearing guide systems.
8. Place blade in the middle of the upper and lower wheels, if the saw
blade is not in the correct position, you must release the fixed handle
and adjust the positive knob. (B, Fig. 5).
9. Replace the table insert and table pin.
10. Adjust the blade tension and blade tracking if the blade width is
different.
ADJUSTING UPPER & LOWER BLADE GUIDE ASSEMBLIES
1. Adjust the upper and lower bearing blade guides to within approx.
0.5mm of the blade, make sure the bearing in the back of the blade is
approx. 0.5mm (Fig. 6), follow instructions.
2. Do not set the bearing too close, as the friction generates heat, which
may have an adverse effect on the bearings and the saw blade as well.
Figure 6B shows the upper bearing blade guide properly adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE SPEED OF THE SAW BLADE
The saw blade speed can be changed from 3300 SFPM to 1600SFPM.
Loosen the two cap screws (A, B, Fig.7), change the belt to the required belt
slot. Once the adjustment is completed, Retighten the 2 cap screws.
