This band saw cuts angles anywhere from 0 to 60 degrees. 
To make an adjustment to the cutting angle:

2. Turn the swivel support (Fig. D - 2) until the mark on the 
support matches the desired angle on the scale.

3. Lock the angle lock handle.

SLIDING BLADE GUIDE

The sliding blade guide must be adjusted before every cut to 
a new workpiece. Without the adjustment, the resulting cut 
could be unclean and jagged.

1. Loosen the blade guide lock handle (Fig. E - 1).

2. Slide the blade guide to move it closer to the workpiece. 

3. Retighten the blade guide lock handle.

CUTTING SPEED

The cutting speed always depends on the material being cut. To select 
the most suitable speed, turn the control knob (Fig. F - 1) to increase 
or decrease the speed, with 125 FPM as the lowest setting and 260 
FPM the highest.

For common steel, use a speed between 125 and 180 FPM.

For aluminum or alloy, use the maximum speed of 260 FPM.

For pipes, use a speed between 220 and 260 FPM.
