Adjust the positionning of the lower thrust bearing as follows:
1. Loosen the upper set screw (Fig. 37).
2. Manually move the thrust bearing in or out until the
bearing is 1/64” behind the back edge of the blade, then
retighten the set screw. (Fig. 37).
3. Repeat step 2 for the other guide on the other side of the
blade.
4. Loosen the lower set screw with the 3 mm Allen key pro-
vided.
5. Manually move the guide bearing mounting bracket in
or out until the guides are at least 1/32” behind the blade
teeth (see Fig. 38). The guides must remain behind the bla-
de teeth to prevent damage to the blade.
CHANGING SPEED SETTINGS
This model 90-125 14" wood cutting bandsaw has 2 different speed settings; low and high.
- Low speed is to be used for cutting soft woods over 4" in height or hard woods over 2" in height.
- High speed is best for cutting soft woods under 4" in height or hard woods under 2" in height.
Note: If wood starts to burn at high speed, stop and change to the lower speed setting.
To change the speed setting:
1. Turn off power and disconnect the bandsaw from the po-
wer source to avoid unintentional start-up of the bandsaw.
2. Open the lower wheel cover door.
3. At the back of the bandsaw, just above the motor, there is
a ratchet lever
for loosening the tension on the drive
belt. When you pull it out, as in Fig. 39 it disengages for re-
setting. When you release it as in Fig. 40, it engages the bolt
for screwing or unscrewing. (You can tell when it is enga-
ged by the orange indicater button
showing).

To loosen the drive belt, unscrew the bolt a few turns counter-
clockwise then pull up on the capacitor cover of the motor
pivot the motor to the left (see Fig. 41). This loosens the belt
enough to move it between one set of pulleys and the other.
