14. Check the clearance between the table and
the fence. The fence should not rub against
the table surface but be slightly above it. This
gap should be the same at the front of the
table as it is at the rear. See Figure 4.
15. If the gap between fence and table is not
consistent, loosen either of the hex nuts on the
hook (Figure 5) and rotate the sliding pad until
the fence/table gap is consistent across the full
length of the table. When this is achieved,
tighten both hex nuts.
16. Check the adjustment of the hook at the rear
of the fence. The hook should be positioned so
that it overlaps the rear rail by approximately
1/8”. See Figure 5. To adjust the hook, loosen
the upper hex nut (Figure 6) and slide the
hook in or out as needed. Re-tighten upper
hex nut.
Dust Collection
The use of a dust collection system is strongly
recommended for this band saw. It will help keep
the shop clean as well as reduce any potential
health hazards caused by inhalation of wood dust.
The collector should have a capacity sufficient for
this size machine (minimum of 600 CFM).
Attach the hose of the dust collector to the 4” dust
port below the band saw table (Figure 6). Secure
with a hose clamp or duct tape.
NOTE: Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for wood
dust collection.
Grounding Instructions
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
This machine must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
