SETUP
Adjusting Positive Stop
After using the table at a tilt of other than 0°, the
positive stop allows the table to be quickly and accurately
returned to the horizontal position in relation to the
blade. This is important for accurate cutting results.
Note: The height of the positive stop is lowered when the
table is tilted to the left. Properly re-adjust the positive
stop after returning the table to 0° or greater.

To adjust the positive stop, do these steps:
1. Make sure the blade is properly tensioned as
instructed on the previous page.
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3. Place the machinist's square flat on the table and
against the side of the blade, as shown in Figure 19.
— If the square sits on the table and against the
blade without any gaps, no adjustments are
necessary.
— If there are gaps between the square, table, and
blade, continue with Step 4.
4. Loosen both trunnion lock knobs (see Figure 18) to
allow the table to tilt.
5. Loosen the hex nut on the positive stop shown in
Figure 20, then adjust the height of the positive
stop until the square is flat against the table and
blade.
6. When you are satisfied with the setting, re-tighten
the hex nut to secure the positive stop in place.
7. Loosen the screw on the tilt scale pointer shown in
Figure 18, then align the pointer with the "0" on the
scale before re-tightening the screw.
