Adjustments
Band Guides
• To assure clean cuts and optimal performance of the saw,
the cutting band shall run through the cutting guides (upper
and lower).
• These guides are made with a bearing system that keep
the cutting band in place while making the cut. The bearings
are set on the sides and in the rear of the cutting band.
• The bearings (A) are secured with an Allen screw (B) that
can be loosened to adjust each bearing position.
• Both guides (upper and lower) have a hexagonal head
screw (C) to bring over or move away the band bearings
system from the cutting band depending of the band size.
CAUTION • It is important that the bearings are set
1/16" behind the cutting teeth as indicated in graph (D) to
prevent vibration or wear in the cutting band. Otherwise, to
adjust, loosen the hexagonal screws (C) to make the guides
travel to the right distance. Then, tighten the screws to
secure.
• After this adjustment, verify all the bearings (in rear and in
the sides) are separated 1/32" away from the band.
Otherwise, adjust by loosening the bearing Allen screw.
Make it travel to the right distance in the band and tighten
the Allen screw to secure the position.
CAUTION
Prevent the band travel make contact with
the bearings. The friction generated would be counterpro-
ductive for the band and the cutting bands.
• Once all the adjustments are carried out, the separation
distance between the saw and the slot edge shall be 1/2".
There has to be no contact or friction between the saw and
the slot profile.
Longitudinal Cut Guide
• The longitudinal cut guide can be moved move close or
away from the cutting guide depending on the job.
• To release the longitudinal cutting guide, lift the leve (C)
and set the guide in the desired position. Lower the lever
to secure the guide in place.
