Adjusting Guide Post Parallel To
Blade
1. Verify guide post is parallel to blade by checking
position of bearings with respect to blade when the
guide post is raised all the way up and again in the
lowest position.
2. If the bearings have shifted throughout the travel of
the guide post then it needs to be adjusted.
3. If adjustment needs to be made left and right,
slightly loosen the four bolts (A, Fig 12a) and make
slight guide post adjustments as needed. Tighten
bolts when completed.
4. If adjustment needs to be made forward and aft,
adjustment is made by tightening and loosening the
set screws (B, C, Fig 12a). The top set screws (B,
Fig 12a) adjust the guide post back (when standing
in front of saw), while the bottom set screws (C, Fig
12a) will adjust the guide post forward.
Changing Blade Speeds
Lower door removed for clarity.
Never operate bandsaw without door installed and
closed.
1. Disconnect machine from the power source.
2. Open the lower door and locate the locking bolt (A
Fig. 13). Loosen bolt using the provided 6mm T-
handle hex wrench.
3. Rotate motor so the belt slackens.
4. Tighten locking bolt (A, Fig. 13) to keep motor fixed
and prevent from pinching fingers.
5. Move belt from one pulley to the next. The belt
needs to be moved on BOTH idler pulley (C Fig.
13) and motor pulley (B Fig. 13). The belt should
NOT be twisted across the pulleys.*
6. Repeat steps 1-4 in reverse to tension belt.**
*: When the belt is set closer to the back of the saw
body it is set for 3000 SFPM speed, further away is
1500 SFPM speed.
**: Tensioning the belt can be acquired by pulling the
motor back with one hand and tightening the locking
bolt with the T-handle hex wrench with the other.
Excessive force is NOT needed to properly tension
belt.
