With the table fitted to the trunions, assemble
the two ratchet handles and flat washers.
How to adjust the table for square to the blade.
This will be detailed later in the manual.
6.4 Fitting the table rule
Table rule with fixings
Table with rule mounted
Attach the rule to the table with the fixings supplied.
Do not fully tighten the bolts, as the position of the
rule will have to be adjusted to suit the blade, which
will be detailed later in the manual.
6.5 Fitting the fence
1.
Fit the fence bar to the table with the screws
and spacers supplied.
Note.
The distance between the fixing holes and
the end of the bar is not symmetrical, and the end
that has the longest distance must be at the back of
the bandsaw (closest to the column).
2.
Slide the fence support onto the fence bar and
fit the fence support clamp screw.
3.
Slide the fence onto the clamping strip.
4.
Lift the fence just clear of the table and secure
it in position with the clamping screws.
Fence clamped in low position
Fence in high position
The fence support and the fence are held off
the table with a nylon-support Allen screw. This
screw ensures that the fence and the fence
support do not damage the table. The screw is
adjustable to compensate for wear.
Note
. The fence clamp screw is shown
removed.
6.6 Fitting the table insert and Fence Stopper
The machine is supplied with a removable table
insert that is held in position with a screw. The
table insert is removed when blades are removed
or fitted to the machine. The insert is made of
soft aluminium so that if the blade wanders
and contacts the insert, there is less chance
of damaging the blade. Adjusting screws are
provided to adjust the insert vertically level with
the table. The insert comes factory set, but should
adjustment become necessary, place the insert
in the table with the screw fitted. Place a straight
edge across the table and insert and adjust the
screws so that the table insert is level with the top
of the table.
Fitting the Fence Stop
The fence stopper can be used to control the
length of cut for non through cuts. To set the stop
in place, the scale should be attached into the
T-slot on top of the fence when it is on the vertical
position. The “0” on the scale should be adjusted
and set to be align up to the front tip of the blade.
Then refer to the scale, slide the fence stopper to
the desired cutting length behind the front tip of
the blade as shown in the scale, then fix the fence
stopper in place by tightening down the quick
release handle.
