Adjusting Positive
Stop
An adjustable positive stop allows the table to
easily return to 90° after tilting. After adjusting the
positive stop to 90°, the pointer on the table tilt
scale should be adjusted to the 0° mark to ensure
that the table tilt scale is accurate.
To set the positive stop 90° to the blade:
1. Make sure the blade is correctly tensioned as
described in the Blade Tensioning
instruc-

Page 19.
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
4. Check to make sure the support bearing is
positioned directly behind the blade.
—If the support bearing is positioned directly
behind the blade, continue on to the next
step.

nion mounting cap screws and shift the
trunnion assembly over until the support
bearing is behind the blade.
Note: The table must be re-aligned with the
blade if the trunnion assembly is moved.
