9.0 Operation – Non-Metal
Consult section 8.0 for identification of the controls.
Never operate band saw without blade and wheel
covers in place and secured.
The following section contains basic information and
is not intended to cover all possible applications or
techniques using the band saw. Consult published
sources of information, acquire formal training,
and/or talk to experienced band saw users to gain
proficiency and knowledge of band saw operations.
(The following figures may or may not show your
specific band saw, but procedures are the same.)
9.1 General Procedure
1. Setup the saw to match the specific material to
be cut. “Wood Mode” for wood or “Metal Mode”
for metal.
2. Install the proper blade for use with the material
to be cut.
3. Make sure the blade and upper and lower
bearings are properly adjusted for tension and
tracking.
4. Adjust blade guide assembly so that the guide
bearings are just above workpiece (about 3/16”)
allowing minimum exposure to blade. See
Figure 9-1.
Figure 9-1
5. If using the fence, move it into position and lock
it to the guide rail. If you are using the miter
gauge for a crosscut, the fence should be
moved safely out of the way.
