tilt the table all the way to the back. Then tighten lock
handle (A).
2. Place a square (B) Fig. 27, on the table surface with
one end of the square against the side of the blade, as
shown, and check to see if the table is 90 degrees to the
blade.

handle (A) Fig. 27, and loosen nut (C). Using wrench
supplied with the band saw, tighten or loosen screw (D)
until end (E) of screw contacts the frame when the table is
90 degrees to the blade. Then tighten lock handle (A) and
nut (C) and adjust pointer to point to the zero degree mark
on the table tilt scale.
