Top guide vertical adjustment shaft
The top guide when moved vertically tracks
the
blade and comes factory-set.
Adjustment is provided should that
mechanism become misaligned. There is a
plate at the top of the shaft with two bolts.
This guides the top of the shaft. If the bolts
are loosened the tracking of the guide can
be adjusted. This is a tricky operation and
should only be attempted if an extreme
error has occurred.
Adjustment procedure
1. With the guide at its highest position, adjust the side guides so that there
is approximately 1/16” clearance on each side.
2. Adjust the back guide so that it is 1/16” behind the back of the blade.
3. Attach a piece of paper to the table with scotch tape/ masking tape in the
area covered by the blade guide.
4. Lower the guide and mark its position on the paper. This will give you a
reference point to work from.
5. Move the guide up and down and note any change in the relationship
between the blade and the guide [both side and back].
6. Only if adjustment is needed, loosen the two bolts on the guide plate &
move the guide back / forward, left / right depending on the adjustment
needed.
7. Tighten the two bolts on the guide plate, move the guide up, down,
noting the relationship between the blade and the side and back guide.
8. If the adjustment needs to be refined, repeat the procedure.
Troubleshooting Bandsaw will not

6. Check that the foot brake is fully in the up position.
7. With the power disconnected from the machine, check that the wiring in
the terminal box is correct. Check that the rubber insulation is stripped
enough and is not causing a bad connection. Check that all the screws are
tight.

use a multi-meter / circuit tester, to check that there is continuity
