loosen the lock knob with the other hand and
slide guide post up and out of its housing.
12. Unthread the two ball plunger set screws

collar (Figure 4) from the pinion gear shaft.
11. Push the pinion gear shaft inward to disen-
gage the gear from the rack (see Figure 5).
20. Install the 105" bandsaw blade, and without
starting the saw, tension the blade approxi-
mately where it should be for a regular cutting
operation.
— If you have difficulty setting the tension on
the 105" blade, the tensioning mechanism
on the bandsaw may need to be re-adjust-
ed to accommodate the new blade length.
Follow the Blade Tensioner instructions in
the G0555LX Owner's Manual.
21. Align the bandsaw wheels so they are
coplaner. Refer to Wheel Alignment proce-
dure in the G0555LX Owner's Manual.
Congratulations! The riser block installation
procedure is now complete.
