■ Remove the d-nut, washers, and wing screw on the
saw table.
■ Standing at the front of the band saw, slide the saw
table past the blade and through the slot moving from
the right side of the saw table to the left.
■ Holding the saw table with your left hand while pulling
the angle adjustment knob away from the saw frame,
align the teeth on the saw table bracket into the teeth
on the angle adjustment knob. Release the knob.
■ Fit the pins on the frame into the slots of the saw table
bracket.
■ Insert the washer on the threaded end of the table
lock lever. Tighten the saw table to the saw frame by
turning the table lock lever clockwise.

phillips screwdriver.
notE: always make a test cut to insure the squareness of
the blade prior to beginning any new project. If not square,
it may be necessary to loosen the screws under the saw

■ Switch off the saw.
■ Before using the band saw, turn the blade tension knob
on the top of the saw clockwise to engage tension.
■ Note: adjustments of blade tension can be made at
anytime.
■ Pluck the back straight edge of the saw blade like a
guitar string while turning the tension knob.
Sound becomes higher pitched as tension increases.
Never increase blade tension so tight as to completely
compress the spring. When completely compressed, the
spring can no longer act as a shock absorber.
Too much tension may cause the blade to break. Thicker
workpieces require higher tension; maximum tension is
not needed for all cuts. Too little tension may cause the
blade to slip on the wheels.

See Figure 11.
Adjust blade tension properly before making tracking
adjustments. Check that blade guides do not interfere
with the blade. Blade gullet (the deepest part of the blade
tooth) should be in the centre of the tire.
to adjust:
Disconnect from power. Open front covers by unscrewing
the cover locking screw. Watch the blade's position on the
upper tire as, by hand, you slowly turn the upper wheel
clockwise. If the blade moves away from the centre of the
tire, the tracking must be adjusted.
if the blade has moved left or right of centre:
■ Turn the blade tracking knob (clockwise if blade has
moved left; counterclockwise if blade has moved right)
while turning the wheel by hand until the blade moves
back and rides in the centre of the tire.
■ Check the position of the blade on the lower tire. The
blade should be completely on the tire (gullet of the
blade teeth in the centre). If not, adjust the tracking
