The upper blade guides are attached to the blade guide shaft. The shaft is vertically
adjustable with a hand wheel. The guides should be adjusted so the guides are just
above the wood being cut. This gives the blade maximum stability and is also the
safest way to operate the bandsaw.
There are two sets of blade guides, one above and one below the table. The
function of the guides is to give the blade stability and ensure that the blade
movement left/right, forward/back is kept to a minimum. The guides above the table
are fitted to a shaft that has vertical adjustment. The upper guides are adjustable so
that the guides are held just above the job being cut. This gives the blade the
maximum amount of stability and also keeps the amount of blade that is exposed to
a minimum. The guides have ceramic inserts that can be adjusted for almost zero
clearance.

The rip fence assembly consists of a guide rail, cast knuckle, fence attachment
casting, rule and a high-low fence. The guide rail is attached to the table side. It
guides the fence assembly across the table. The cast knuckle slides on the guide
rail and is lockable in any position to suit the width of cut. The fence attachment
casting is attached to the cast knuckle with three screws that when loosened allow
the fence to be adjusted for drift. The fence is attached to the fence attachment
casting with two studded knobs that allow the fence to be adjusted laterally across
the table to suit the job being cut. The fence can be fitted in the low 1/2" or high 5
1/2" position.
There is a rule that is fitted to the side of the table and can be used as a quick guide
on the distance that the fence is from the blade.
Note. The rule will have to be adjusted each time the fence is adjusted for drift, as
this will change the distance the fence is from the blade.
The bandsaw produces a lot of sawdust, so extraction is very important. This is
achieved by connecting a 4" dust extraction hose to the dust ports located at the
side of the machine with a minimum capacity of 1,000 CFM. The stronger the
suction from the dust collector, the better for you and the machine.
There is a quick-release tension lever at the back of the bandsaw. The lever is a
convenient way of quickly releasing the tension on the blade and speeds up blade
change dramatically.
The blade-tracking knob is located at the back of the bandsaw and is used to adjust
the blade tracking. The knob must be locked once the adjustment is completed.
