OPERATION
Angle Cuts
The headstock can be swiveled to cut angles from
0–45° to the left and 0–45° to the right for a total
swing of 90°. When making cuts to the right, the
vise should remain in the left position. If you
need to make a cut to the left, you will have to
move the vise to the right side of the machine.
Cuts to the Right
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Loosen the lock handle shown in Figure
28, then swivel the headstock to the desired
angle, using the angle scale as a guide.
3. Move the saw through its full range of
motion to make sure the blade will not
contact the vise during operation, then
tighten the swivel lock handle.
Cuts to the Left
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Rotate the 0° flip stop out of the way, as
shown in Figure 28.
3. Lift the headstock to the upmost position,
then close the downfeed valve to prevent it
from lowering.
5.
Slide the vise to the right until it stops.
Replace the cap screws that were removed
in Step 4 into the holes indicated in Figure
30. If needed, install the work stop on the
left side of the vise.
