TILTING THE TABLE
The table can tilt from 0° to 45° to the right to allow for bevel cutting. To set the
table angle refer to the
TABLE TILT ANGLE INDICATOR (A)
located under the band
saw table.
1. Loosen
LOCK KNOBS (C)
(See Figure 25) and
LOCK KNOB (B)
(See Figure 24)
located under the band saw table.
2. Tilt the table to desired angle. Refer to the
ANGLE INDICATOR (A)
.
3. Tighten the
LOCK KNOBS
to lock the table in position.
ADJUSTING 90º TABLE STOP AND RE-ALIGNING ANGLE POINTER
To ensure accurate cuts, align the table so the angle pointer reads 0 when the table is
set to 90°, the default position.
Begin by setting the table-stop bolt:
1. Loosen
LOCK KNOBS (C)
and
LOCK KNOB (B)
.
2. Place a
COMBINATION SQUARE (D)
flat on the table with the heel of the square
flat against the
SAW BLADE (E)
. See Figure 26.
3. Level the table until it is exactly 90° to the
blade, then tighten
LOCK KNOBS.
4. Using the supplied open-end wrench, loosen
the
JAM NUT (F)
on the 90º table-stop bolt
then adjust the height of the
BOLT (G)
until it
touches the underside of the table as shown
in Figure 28.
5. Loosen the
LOCK KNOBS (B AND C)
and
make sure the table is resting on the table-stop bolt.
6. Check the square and make sure the table is still at 90° to the blade.
If not, re-adjust the table-stop bolt.
7. Re-tighten
JAM NUT (F)
.
With the table set to 90º and the stop bolt at the correct height, check that the table
tilt angle indicator pointer on the front trunnion is set to 0. See Figure 29.
To adjust the pointer, loosen the
SCREW (H)
on the pointer and align the
POINTER
(I)
to 0 on the scale. Then re-tighten the screw to secure the pointer in place. See
Figure 30. You will now be able to accurately return the table to the 90º position
automatically without further adjustments and scale reading for any angle other than 0º
will also be accurate.
