by closing the ON/OFF valve. See figure-

BLADE SELECTION
The CX117 uses a 1" wide x 97.5" long x
0.03" thick band saw blade.
Selecting the right blade depends on a
variety of factors, such as the type of
material being cut, hardness of material,
material shape and machine capability.
Always do some research to get the right
blade to match your needs.
USING BLADE GUIDES
To ensure straight cuts the upper blade
guides should be as close as possible to
the work-piece.
TO ADJUST THE UPPER BLADE
GUIDES:
Loosen the lock knob shown in figure-10
and slide the upper blade guide assembly
as close to the work-piece as possible,
then tighten the lock knob.
