[. . . ] Locate and mark the holes where the band saw is to be mounted. Follow the last three steps in the section Mounting Band Saw to Workbench, shown above. If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough to go through holes in the saw base and material the saw is being mounted to. If machine bolts are being used, make sure bolts are long enough to go through holes in the saw base, the material being mounted to, and the lock washers and hex nuts. NOTE: It may be necessary to countersink hex nuts and washers on bottom side of mounting board. SAW TABLE SAW TABLE BRACKET MOUNTING THE SAW TABLE See Figures 6 and 7. Standing at the front of the band saw, slide the saw table pass the blade and through the slot moving from the right side of the saw table to the left. Fig. 6 Page 11 ASSEMBLY Align the screw holes in the saw table with the holes in the saw table bracket. Using the phillips screws, attach the saw table to the saw table bracket. Attach the table aligning bolt, washer, and wing nut to the saw table. NOTE: The wing nut goes below the saw table. LOCK KNOB TABLE ALIGNING BOLT BLADE GUIDE KNOB SQUARING THE SAW TABLE TO THE BLADE See Figure 8. WARNING: Failure to turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury. WASHER Turn the lock knob counterclockwise to unlock the blade guide assembly. Turning the blade guide knob clockwise, raise the blade guide assembly as far as it will go. 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. NOTE: Too much tension may cause the blade to break. Too little tension may cause the blade to slip on the wheels. TO DECREASE TENSION TO INCREASE TENSION BLADE TENSION KNOB Fig. 9 TRACKING THE BLADE See Figure 10. BLADE TENSION KNOB WARNING: Failure to turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury. NOTE: Adjust blade tension properly before making tracking adjustments. Check that the blade guides are not interfering with the blade. BLADE ON WHEEL TRACKING VIEW WINDOW BLADE TRACKING KNOB To Adjust: Open the front cover by releasing the upper and lower latches. Watch the blade's position on the upper tire through the tracking view window as, by hand, you slowly turn the upper wheel clockwise. If the blade moves away from the center of the tire, the tracking must be adjusted. Retighten hex nut. If the blade has moved left or right of center: NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen the hex nut for a larger range of adjustments. [. . . ] Adjust tracking, See Adjustments section, Tracking the Blade. Stop feeding and back up the material slightly until the band saw speeds up. See Adjustments section, Adjusting Blade Tension. Replace the thrust bearings. Blade does not run in the approximate center of the upper wheel. [. . . ]
