Installing Quick Tension Lever
Refer to Figure 36.
Install the quick tension lever (M) onto the shaft
as shown, and tighten the two set screws using
a 3mm hex wrench. The movement of the blade
tension lever is explained under “Installing
Blades”.
Stand Attachments
Refer to Figure 37.
1. Mount the two miter gauge hooks (HP3-B)
to the side of the stand with two M8x16
carriage bolts (HP3-E) and two M8 flanged
hex nuts (HP3-F). Position the hooks at an
angle, similar to that shown in Figure 38.
The miter gauge can be stored in these
hooks.
2. Mount the blade hook (HP3-C) with two
M4x10 pan head screws (HP3-H) as shown.
The blade hook can store a rolled-up spare
blade.
3. Mount the two fence hooks (HP3-A) to the
opposite side of the stand with two M8x16
carriage bolts (HP3-E) and two M8 flanged
hex nuts (HP3-F). The rip fence can be
stored in these hooks when not in use.
Dust Collection
Refer to Figure 38.
The use of a dust collection system (not
provided) is strongly advised when using the
band saw. It will help keep your shop clean, and
reduce the risk of health problems due to wood
dust inhalation. The dust collector should have
sufficient capacity for this size band saw
(minimum 350 cubic feet per minute).
Connect a 4” diameter dust collection hose (not
provided) to the port at the back of the band
saw, and secure tightly with a hose clamp, as
shown.
Note: Dryer vent hose is not suitable for dust
collection purposes.
Riser Block Accessory
A Riser Block kit (stock no. 1791217, not
provided) is available as an accessory. When
installed, it increases resaw capacity (workpiece
height capacity) to 12 inches. If you have
purchased the Riser Block, consult the
instruction sheet that accompanies it.
