Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of the extension block are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.

Complete removal of the rust preventative is necessary for the extension block and upper arm to fit properly and be accurately positioned.

WARNING: NO PORTION OF THIS MANUAL MAY BE REPRODUCED IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM WITHOUT

THE WRITTEN APPROVAL OF WOODSTOCK INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may damage painted surfaces.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable Rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

D3348 Extension Block Instructions

1. Put on safety glasses.

2. Apply a liberal amount of cleaner/degreaser on the

rust preventative, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.

3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is

effective, the rust preventative will wipe off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe off the rest with the rag.

4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean, then

coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality metal protectant to prevent rust.

Installation

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Remove the blade per the directions in the Model

W1706 Owner's Manual.

3. Remove the left-side blade guard (Figure 2). It is

held in place with one screw at the top and one at the bottom.

4. Taking care not to disconnect any wiring, remove

the power switch and the double cord clamp (see

Figure 2). Let the switch hang to the side for now.

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance or assembly. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Note: The switch is fastened in place with one

screw above the box and one below it. Avoid removing the two screws on the face of the switch box, as this will open the switch box cover, exposing the wiring inside.

5. Have an assistant support the upper arm assembly, then loosen the hex nut and bolt, as shown in Figure 3, and slide the bolt out.

IMPORTANT: Make sure all mating surfaces of the

riser block are clean before proceeding.

⁄8" washer over the 5⁄8"-11 x 81⁄2" hex bolt

included with the extension kit, and slide the bolt down through the extension block.

24. Install the 105" bandsaw blade. Without starting the saw, tension the blade approximately where it should be for a regular cutting operation.

— If you have difficulty setting the tension on

the 105" blade, the tensioning mechanism on the bandsaw may need to be re-adjusted to accommodate the new blade length. Follow the Blade Tensioner instructions in the W1706 Owner's Manual.

25. Align the bandsaw wheels so they are coplaner. Refer to Wheel Alignment procedure in the W1706 Owner's Manual.

Congratulations! The riser block installation

procedure is now complete.
