ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS
The upper frame of this bandsaw is mounted to a sturdy column which can raise or lower the upper frame using a
very smooth rack and pinion system by means of a crank handle, allowing you to adjust the maximum cutting
capacity to a desired height of anywhere from 5 5/8” to 12”.
The higher setting allows for taller cutting capacities for resawing when needed. When not resawing such as when
doing fine work with tight or intricate curves, keep the upper frame set to the lowest setting possible (depending on
blade lengths you have available) to keep the distance between the upper and lower blade guides the shortest
possible. This helps maintain stability for better accuracy and to limit blade drift and keep the blade from flexing in
or out and drifting off line.
The added advantage of the adjustable height feature is that it allows you the flexibility to adapt the saw to what-
ever length blades you have in the shop or that are readily available in your area.
1. Loosen the lock lever .
2. If installed, remove the blade following the instructions
in this manual in the section entitled “Removing/Instal-
ling the blade” on page 16.
3. Turn the crank handle - clockwise to raise or count-
erclockwise to lower - until the upper frame is at the
desired height.
Note: The blade length indicator scale on the column is a
helpful reference tool showing the correct height adjustment
required for some of the most commonly available blade
lengths.
4. Install the new longer/shorter blade by following the
instructions in this manual in the section entitled
“Removing/Installing the blade” on page 16.
5. Re-tighten the lock lever .
To adjust the height of the upper frame and extend the
cutting capacity of your bandsaw:
Make sure the bandsaw has been turned off and
unplugged from the power source before performing
any adjustments.

1. Inspect/test the ON/OFF switch before each use. Do not operate the bandsaw with a damaged switch; replace
a damaged switch immediately.
2. Periodically inspect the power cord/plug and the blade for damage.
To avoid eye injury from blowing debris, wear safety goggles when blowing out sawdust.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Never operate the bandsaw with any damaged part. Replace a damaged part at the first visible signs of damage.
3. Keep the machine clean and free of sawdust. Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust and wipe down
the machine occasionally with a damp rag.
Note: The wheels must always be kept clean. Dirt on the wheels will cause blade slippage.
