ADJUSTMENTS & OPERATIONS
ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE BLADE
Blade tension is set by a spring loaded tension mechanism on the
upper drive wheel. The tension window allows you to see and adjust
the tension of the blade, the adjustment depends on the width of the
blade used. Check the tension meter before cutting, this ensures that
the blade is properly tensioned and the Bandsaw is ready to be used.
Turn the blade tension handwheel (B, Fig. 8) to set the tension and
tighten until the tension meter (A, Fig. 8) indicates the width of the
blade installed on the Bandsaw.
DUST COLLECTION
It is recommended that the Bandsaw be connected to a dust collector.
This will avoid a dusty and undesired work environment. There are
two 4” dust ports (A, Fig. 9). 4” Dust Collection hoses must be
attached to the dust ports using 4” steel clamps and then connected to
a Dust Collector. A variety of Dust Collectors are available from King
Canada, see your nearest King Canada products retailer.
ADJUSTING THE UPPER BEARING BLADE GUIDE
SYSTEM HEIGHT
The upper bearing blade guide system should always be set as close
as possible against the work. To adjust, turn handwheel (A, Fig. 10)
until the upper bearing blade guide system is at the required height.
MITER GAUGE ADJUSTMENT
1. Place the miter gauge in the table slot.
2. Loosen the lock handle on the miter gauge.
3. Adjust to the desired cutting angle on the miter gauge.
4. Tighten the lock handle.
