ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING!
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before making any adjustments.
TILTING THE TABLE
1. Find and loosen the table bevel lock located in back under the
saw table (Fig. 12 - 1).
2. Adjust the table to the desired angle using the table tilting knob
(Fig. 12 - 2) and the angle indicator (Fig. 12 - 3).
3. Use the angle indicator to confirm the desired angle and tighten
the lock handle.
NOTE:
A table perpendicular (90°) to the blade corresponds to a
scale indication of 0°).
ADJUSTING THE SAW BLADE
If the blade does not run in the middle of the rubber tire band, the
tracking needs to be corrected by adjusting the tilt of the upper
band saw wheel.
1. Turn of the bandsaw and unplug it from the power supply. Open
both the upper and lower wheel covers once the blade has stopped
moving (Fig. 13).
2. Loosen the tracking lock knob (Fig. 14 - 1) and manually rotate
the upper wheel, making sure not to touch the blade. Watch to see
which direction the blade tends to veer off towards in order to best
adjust the tracking set knob to resolve the problem.
3. Turn tracking set knob (Fig. 14 - 2) in the desired direction until
the blade is centered over the upper and lower wheels. Spin the
wheel manually to ensure that the blade is now running in the cen-
ter.
4. Tighten the tracking lock knob and close the covers (Fig. 14 - 1).
