Lower Guides:To adjust the lower blade guides, first
loosen the hex nut(A-Fig.4.5.2) by placing a wrench
through acess hole in side of frame. Move the lower
guide support assembly to allow the side roller guides
to be approximately 1/16” behind the gullets of the
blade, and re-tighten the hex nut. Next set the roller
guides to within 1/32” of the blade by releasing the
lock knob(A-Fig.4.5.3) and turning the micro-adjus-
ting knob (B-Fig.4.5.3).Do not set the guides too close,
as this will adversely affect the life of the blade.
When the correct adjustment is reached, lock the guides
in position by re-tightening the lock knob(B-Fig.4.5.3).
Adjust the thrust guide to be just clear of the back of
the blade by unlocking the wing nut(C-Fig.4.5.3), and
turning adjusting knob on rear of the trunnion.Finally,
re-tighten the wing nut(C- Fig.4.5.3).
Make sure the doors are closed, turn the band saw on
and inspect that the upper, lower and thrust guides are
not turning. All guides should not turn unless pressure
from workpiece is applied to the blade .If guides are
turning under no pressure, repeat the steps above to
correctly adjust the blade guides.

- The table may be set at 90degree to the blade by
adjusting the table stop screw under the table. The
table stop screw rests on the top of the lower wheel
bandwheel housing. By first slackening the locking nut
A and then adjusting the screw B, the table can be set
correctly. Retighten the locking nut A making sure that
the setting is maintained.
