7.4 Vertical cutting plate
These steps are only necessary when using band
saw in vertical position.
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Open valve on hydraulic cylinder (lever parallel
to cylinder) and raise bow to vertical position.
3. Remove two screws and remove seat plate, as
shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5
4. Guide blade through slot in vertical cutting
plate (F, Figure 5), and tighten with the two
screws.
5. Verify that vertical cutting plate is square to
blade, using a machinist’s square on the plate
and against the blade (Figure 6).
6. If adjustment is needed, loosen screws and
place shims where required. Tighten screws.
Figure 6
7. Place a level on vertical cutting plate (Figure
7).
8. Loosen hex nut (M, Figure 8) and turn stop
screw (N) as needed, until cutting plate is
level. Tighten hex nut.
9. Close valve on cylinder (lever perpendicular to
cylinder) to secure bow in position.
Reinstall seat plate before using bow in horizontal
position.

7.5 Vertical support post
This is mounted to rear of band saw to help
stabilize saw when bow is in vertical position. It is
generally not needed when bow is set for 90° cuts
before raising it to vertical. However, if operator
raises bow that was set for mitering, the band
saw can tip over. The support post must be
installed to prevent this.
To avoid tipping risk,
remember to set bow at 90-degree cut angle
before raising to vertical position.
Mount post with two screws and washers to rear of
saw, as shown (Figure 9).
