TABLE INSERT
Place table insert (A) Fig. 14, in the hole provided in the table,
making sure the pin (B) in the table engages one of the indents
in the table insert.
TILTING THE TABLE
The table on your band saw can be tilted 45 degrees to the
right and 10 degrees to the left. To tilt the table, loosen the two
lock knobs (A) Fig. 15, tilt the table to the desired angle and
tighten the two lock knobs (A).
ADJUSTING TABLE STOP
The band saw is equipped with an adjustable table stop (A)
Fig. 16, that allows the table to be set perfectly at 90 degrees
with the blade.
Tilt the table to the left until the table stop (A) Fig. 16, contacts
the bottom of the table. Place a square on the table and
against the blade as shown in Fig. 14, and check to see if the
blade is 90 degrees to the table surface. If an adjustment is
necessary, proceed as follows:
1. Tilt the table slightly to the right and tighten table lock
knobs.
2. Turn adjustment nut (B) Fig. 16, right or left as necessary to
raise or lower table stop (A). IMPORTANT: Certain models of
band saws will have an additional locknut assembled to the
end of the table stop (A) Fig. 16, directly under casting (C).
Loosen locknut and turn adjustment nut (B) right or left as
needed to raise or lower the table stop (A). Tighten locknut
after adjustment is made.
3. Lower the table and make certain the table is 90 degrees to
the blade as shown in Fig. 17.
4. It is necessary to remove the adjustable table stop (A)
Fig. 16, when tilting the table to the left.
