4. Always hold material firmly and feed it into the blade at a moderate speed.
5. Always turn off the machine if the material is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut.
6. Adjust the upper guide about 1/8” above the material being cut.
7. Check for proper blade size and type for thickness and type of material being cut.
8. Make sure that the blade tension and blade tracking are properly adjusted.
9. Make “relief” cuts before cutting long curves.
10. Release blade tension when the saw will not be used for a long period of time.

The bandsaw has four holes (A) in the base
(See Fig.01) to allow it to be bolted to the base
cabinet. Lift the saw onto the base cabinet using the
frame. Do not lift bandsaw using the table. Install the
four bolts, eight washers and four nuts as shown in
the Base Cabinet Assembly instructions on page 5.

(C) to prevent it from falling out. (See Fig.02)
Install the upper table trunnion casting (B) to the
underside of the bandsaw table (D) using the four
M8 x 16 hex head set screws (E) and washers,
ensuring that the angle tilt scale is closest to the
edge of the table. (See Fig.03)
While the table is in the upside down position, add
the table stop screw and nut (F) as shown. This will
be adjusted later. (See Figs.02& 03)

washers from the bag of loose parts. Mount the
dust port to the bandsaw frame and install a hex
socket head cap screw with washer in each hole,
then tighten with the M6 hex “L” wrench.

Assembling the Optional Rip Fence
Install the rear fence rail to the table with two M6-
1.0 x 20 hex bolts and two flat M6 washers.
Install the front fence rail to the table with four
thumbscrews and four flat M8 washers.
Make sure the end cap is locked into the rear fence
rail. Then set the fence on the front rail.
(See Fig.07)
Rip Fence Adjustment
The optional rip fence has three adjustments to
ensure proper performance. (See Fig.08)
Adjusting Fence 90 Degrees to Table: Loosen
slightly the two hex head screws which hold the
fence rail to the fence body. Raise or lower the four
micro-adjusting screws, located on the fence body
accordingly.
Correcting for Blade Drift: Loosen the two hex
head screws which hold the fence rail to the fence
body. Pivot the fence rail toward or away from the
blade to compensate for drift.

Fig. 07
To Adjust the Rip Fence Guide Scale: Slide the
rip fence against the blade along the rail and
loosen the indicator screw . Then move the scale
sideways and align the zero on the scale with the
line on the magnifying window. Retighten the
indicator screw when the adjustment is correct.
