Installing Blade
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Slide blade through table slot, ensuring that
teeth are pointing down toward front of table.
Note: If the teeth will not point downward
in any orientation, the blade is inside-out.
Remove the blade, and twist it right-side-out.
3. Slip blade through blade guides, and mount it
on upper and lower wheels (see
Figure 57).
Ripping
"Ripping" means cutting with the grain of the
wood stock. For plywood and other processed
wood, ripping simply means cutting down the
length of the workpiece. Beveled rip cuts may be
performed by tilting the table.
To make a rip cut:
1. Adjust fence to match width of cut on your
workpiece, then lock fence in place.
2. Adjust blade guide assembly to proper height
above workpiece.
3. After all safety precautions have been met,
turn bandsaw ON and wait for it to come to
full speed. Slowly feed workpiece into blade
until blade is completely through workpiece.
Figure 58 shows an example of a ripping
operation.
Figure 58. Example of a ripping operation.
NEVER place fingers or hands in the line of
cut. If you slip, your hands or fingers may
go into the blade and may be cut.
ALWAYS use a push stick when ripping
narrow pieces. Failure to follow these
warnings may result in amputation or
laceration injuries!
4. Rotate blade tension quick-release lever to
down position.
5. Adjust blade tension (refer to Page 26) and
blade tracking (refer to Page 23).
6. Adjust upper/lower guide bearings and sup-
port bearings (refer to instructions beginning
on
Page 27).
7. Close and secure wheel covers and guide
post blade cover, and re-install table insert
and gap screw.
8. If necessary, adjust blade tension quick-
release lever (refer to
Page 26 for
instructions).
