5. Adjust the V-Belt tension by sliding the
motor along the slots. Proper tension is
achieved when the belt can be deflected
approximately
3
/4" with moderate finger
pressure.
6. Tighten the carriage bolts securely. Re-
check belt tension and pulley alignment.
The bandsaw table (#70) secures to the trunnions
(#74). The trunnions mount to the table support
bracket (#74) and the table support bracket
anchors to the bandsaw unit. The trunnions are
pre-mounted to the table. To mount the bandsaw
table:
1. Remove the two table bracket mounting
bolts (#78) from the bandsaw body. Figure
5 shows them removed.
2. There are two alignment pins (#50) that
cross diagonally between the bracket
mounting bolts. See Figure 5. Place the
table bracket on the body over the align-
ment pins and secure it to the bandsaw with
the two bolts.

3. Remove the two star knobs (#77), table
insert (#68), and tapered pin (#71) from the
table.
4. Slip the table past the blade through the
table slot, rotate the table 90°, and set the
table trunnions onto the bracket. Make sure
the trunnion bolts (#72) drop through the
support bracket. See Figure 6.
5. Secure the table to the support bracket by
tightening the two star knobs onto the trun-
nion bolts. Remember to position the table
so that the miter slot is to the right of the
blade as you face the front of the bandsaw.
6. Place the table insert in the table top and
slide the tapered pin so it fits snugly in the
hole on the side of the table. Do not use
excessive force or the table will warp.
IMPORTANT: The tapered table pin must be in
position when operating the bandsaw.
