CAUTION! Before carrying out any adjustments or
maintenance ensure that the machine is isolated and
disconnected from the electricity supply.
Tilting the Table
The tilt mechanism will be used when squaring the table to
the blade. Tilt the table as follows:
1. Loosen the lock handle (Fig. 9.1, A) on the
table trunnion (Fig 9.1, D).
2. Adjust the table (Fig. 9.1, B) by hand to desired angle.
3. Use the angle indicator scale (Fig. 9.1, C) on the trunnion
bracket to find the desired angle.
4. Re-tighten the lock handle to secure the table.

Setting the Table Stop at 90º
to the Blade
Tools Required - Small 90 º square (Not supplied), 10 mm
wrench. The table can be set at 90 º to the Bandsaw Blade
by adjusting the table stop screw (Fig. 9.3, G) underneath
the table.
1. First offer the square (Fig. 9.2, E) up to the blade
(Fig. 9.2, F) to give an indication of adjustment required.
2. Adjust the table until it is 90º to the blade. If the table
stop screw (Fig. 9.3, G) position is too high it may be
necessary to wind this down out of the way so 90º can
be achieved.
3. Once the table is at 90º to the blade, tighten the lock
handle to secure the table position.
4. Now set the table stop screw (Fig 9.3, G), the table
stop screw should be adjusted to meet the registration
point on top of the lower band wheel housing to ensure
that the table always returns to square after tilting. By
first slackening the locking nut and then adjusting the
hex screw the table stop screw can be set correctly.
Re-tighten the locking nut to ensure that the setting
is maintained.
Adjusting the Table Tilt Scale
Once the table is set at 90º to the bandsaw blade it may
be necessary to adjust the angle pointer on the angle scale
so any further angles are accurate. To do this use a flat
blade screwdriver to loosen the pan head screw and adjust
the pointer to 0º.
