Upper Guide Installation~
• Install a Guide into the Upper Blade Guide Holder in the same
way as you installed the Guide into the Lower Guide Holder.
• Install the Upper Blade Guide Holder onto your band saw by
inserting it over the rear right-hand corner of the Motor Cradle as
shown. It is installed properly when the Blade exactly ts into the
slot on the guide.
• The Upper Blade Guide Holder may be removed or reinstalled at
any time.
Sponge and Water Installation~
• The sponges reduce the water splash.
• Wet both Sponges.
• Insert sponges in locations shown in cutaway drawing at
right. Ridges are molded into the saw to keep the sponges in
place.
• Pour water into chassis. Water level should not be higher
than the top of the bottom sponge. The use of a corrosion
inhibitor or other additive in the water is not recommended as
it will not benet the function of the saw.
• Rotate or replace sponges when worn.
• Additional sponges can be cut from a standard kitchen
sponge available at your grocery store.
Platform & Cover Installation~
• The Platform is installed with the texture side up.
• When installed, the Platform surface will be ush with the top of the
Chassis.
• Install the Platform by sliding it into place as shown. Be very careful
not to nick or bend the Blade while installing the Platform.
• The Cover, which you removed to install the Blade, is reinstalled
simply by sliding it down the front of the Top Assembly until it sits
ush.
Marking your Pattern~
Since the Blade carries cooling water to the glass surface, your pattern
will need to be resistant to water. There are several techniques.
• Mark your pattern on the glass with a thin-line paint
marker (such as the Gryphon Pattern Marking
Pen). These are available from your
dealer, or similar products can be
obtained from artist's supply houses.
• Cover your paper pattern with clear
contact paper (actually a plastic). Apply
