cHanging blades

readjusting the upper and lower blade guide assemblies

Note: Make sure blade is tensioned and tracking properly before adjusting the

upper or lower blade guide assemblies.
1. Adjust the upper ball bearing guides (A) Fig.13 as far forward as possible to

the blade gullets (B). Adjust the upper ball bearing guides to within 0.004” on

both sides of the blade, loosen cap screws (A) Fig.9 on both sides, turn both

cap screws (B) Fig.9 to bring the ball bearings towards the blade until there is

a 0.004” gap. Retighten cap screws.

2. Do not set the bearings too close, as friction generates heat, which may have

an adverse effect on the bearings and the saw blade as well. Fig.9  shows the

upper bearing blade guide assembly properly adjusted.

3. Adjust the upper back-up bearing by loosening cap screw (C) Fig.9, position

the  upper  back-up  ball  bearing  approx.  0.016”  at  the  rear  of  the  blade.

Retighten cap screw. 

4. The adjustment of the lower ball bearing guides (found underneath the table)

get adjusted in the same manner as described above.

5. To adjust the lower thrust bearing (E) Fig.10, loosen cap screw (C), turn the

position adjusting knob (D) to move the lower thrust bearing (E) towards blade

until it is approx. 0.016” at the rear of the blade. Retighten cap screw.

cHanging From “wood cutting” mode to “metal cutting” mode

Depending on the desired cutting application, this bandsaw can be set for either

“Wood Cutting” mode with a speed range of 540-3600 SFPM (with wood blade

installed) or “Metal Cutting” mode with a speed range of 100-650 SFPM (with

metal blade installed). This is done by changing the positioning and configuration

of the belt(s).

setting drive belt for wood cutting mode

1. Loosen the drive belt tension by loosening the motor position lock handle (A)

Fig.14. Lift the motor using the lifting handle (B) and retighten lock handle.

2. Only the long A44 drive belt (A) Fig.15 is required and gets installed on the

main lower blade wheel pulley (B) and the large step of the motor drive pulley

(C) as shown.

3. Loosen lock handle (A) Fig.14 and lower the the motor to tension the belt.

Retighten the lock handle (A).

setting belts for metal cutting mode

1. Loosen the drive belt tension by loosening the motor position lock handle (A)

Fig.14. Lift the motor using the lifting handle (B) and retighten lock handle.

2. First, the A44 drive belt (D) Fig.15 (long belt) gets installed on the main lower

blade wheel pulley (E) and the inner small step of the idle pulley (F). It may

be necessary to loosen cap screw (D) Fig.14 and the idle pulley tension hand-

wheel (C) Fig.14 before installing a belt.

3. The A28 belt (G) Fig.15 (short belt) gets installed on the small step of the drive

pulley (H) and the large step of the idle pulley (F).

4. Loosen lock handle (A) Fig.14 and lower the motor to tension the drive belt.

Retighten lock handle (A).

5. Turn the idle pulley tension handwheel (C) Fig.14 clockwise to tighten belt ten-

sion. Squeeze the A28 belt (G) with your hand. The belt should not move more

than 1/8”. Readjust tension if needed, once correctly adjusted, retighten cap

screw (D) Fig.14 to secure belt tension.
