Lower Bearing Guide Adjustment
Disconnect machine from
power source (unplug) before making any
adjustments! Blade teeth are sharp - use
care when working near the saw blade.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
1. Blade tension must be properly adjusted
prior to bearing guide setup. See “Adjusting
Blade Tension” on page 16.
2. Adjust the back-up bearing (A, Figure 4) so
that it is 0.003” away from the back of the
blade, about the thickness of a piece of
paper. To make this adjustment loosen
thumb screw (B, Figure 4) and slide the
bearing and bearing post into position.
Tighten thumb screw (B, Figure 4).
3. Loosen the two socket head cap screws (C,
Figure 4) and slide the bearing assembly
until the bearing guides rest just behind the
gullet of the blade teeth. You may need to
readjust the back-up bearing. Tighten
socket head cap screws.
4. Loosen the thumb screw (D, Figure 4) and
turn adjusting screw (E, Figure 4) clockwise
or counter-clockwise until the bearing is
0.003” away from the side of the blade,
about the thickness of a piece of paper.
5. Adjust the opposite side bearing.
6. Tighten thumb screw (D, Figure 4). Check
to make sure the adjustments have not
changed and the bearing guides do not
pinch the blade.
Mounting the Table
1. With help from another person mount the
table. Remove the table insert (F, Figure 5)
and table pin (G, Figure 5).
2. Slide saw blade through slot in table where
the table pin was located. Rotate the table
90 degrees so that the miter slot is parallel
to the blade, and to the right of the blade
when facing the bandsaw.
3. Line up the trunnions so that the bolts feed
through the trunnion support bracket.
Secure the table with two lock knobs (H,
Figure 6). Reinstall the table insert and
table pin.
