OPENING AND CLOSING

HINGED DOOR

When making adjustments such as changing the blade,

tracking the blade, blade guide adjustments, etc., the

hinged doors (A) and (B) Figs. 15 and 16, can be opened

as follows:

NEVER OPEN THE HINGED DOOR

WHEN THE MACHINE IS RUNNING.

1. Pull out on the two door knobs (C) and (D) Fig. 15, and

swing doors (A) and (B) open.

2. Fig. 16, illustrates doors (A) and (B) in the open

position.

3. To close and fasten doors (A) and (B), Figs. 15 and 16,

press on door directly over door knobs (C) and (D) Fig. 15,

until latches snap into the locking position.

ADJUSTING

BLADE TENSION

With the saw blade centered on the two band saw

wheels, slightly loosen wing nut located behind knob (D)

Fig. 17. Turn the tension knob (A) Fig. 17, clockwise to

increase blade tension or counter-clockwise to decrease

blade tension until the indicator (B) lines up with the cor-

responding blade width on scale (C). Tighten wing nut

located behind knob (D). NOTE: The scale is correct for

average work, and is not affected by use of re-brazed

saw blades. We urge you to use the scale until you have

become familiar enough with the operation of the band

saw to vary the tension a little for different kinds of

blades or work. Over-tensioning is a common cause of

blade breakage and unsatisfactory blade performance.

When the band saw is not in use, it is good practice to

release tension to prolong the life of the blade.
