SETUP
Calibrating Fence Pointer
Your new bandsaw is equipped with a fence measurement
system that includes a fence pointer, which must be cali-
brated when the bandsaw is first set up.
To calibrate the pointer, do these steps:
1. If the fence is mounted on the right-hand side of the
blade, remove it and re-install it on the left-hand
side of the blade.
2. Place the fence flush against the bandsaw blade (see
Figure 40).
3. Loosen the pointer adjustment screw (Figure 41),
and set the pointer in line with "0" and the measure-
ment scale on the table.
4. Tighten the pointer adjustment screw.
