it has changed. To adjust the tilt, loosen the locknut on the Lower Wheel Adjustment Knob. Turn
the screw clockwise to move the Blade toward the front of the Lower Wheel, counterclockwise to
reverse. The angle is correct when the blade nearly touches the shoulder on the Lower Wheel and
runs quietly. Tighten the locknut when the adjustment is correct.
Replacing Lower Wheel Adjustment Knob~
If it should ever become necessary to replace the Lower Knob (used for adjusting the tilt on the
Lower Wheel), proceed as follows:
(1) Remove old Lower Knob and both nuts (the rear nut is glued to the knob, and the
easiest way to remove it is by cutting it off with a sharp knife).
(2) Pass new Lower Knob through hole in plastic arm.
(3) Twist two nuts half way onto Lower
Knob.
(4) Screw Lower Knob into hole in Lower
Shaft Assembly.
(5) Twist nut nearest the Plastic Arm so
that it almost touches Plastic Arm, but still
allows knob to turn.
(6) Install the blade and rotate the Upper
Wheel by hand while turning Lower Knob in or
out until the blade runs near the shoulder at the
back of the Lower Wheel.
(7) Turn saw on and twist Lower Knob
until blade runs quiet and almost touches
shoulder of Lower Wheel.
(7) Tighten Locking Nut.
Replacement Parts~
The following are standard replacement parts available through your dealer or directly from
Gryphon.
• Replacement Diamond Blades. The Gryphon Blade furnished with your saw is the highest quality
blade on the market. The Gryphon Blade is highly resistant to tearing or breaking, and if not
abused should give superior service. Stainless Steel blades are not recommended.
• Blade Guides. Your saw was supplied with three extra blade Guides. To remove a worn guide
slide it straight up out of the Guide Holder. Slide the new Guide in its place with the slot facing out.
Your guide should be replaced when worn.
• Sponges. Sponges wear quickly and should be replaced when the water splash becomes excessive.
Sponges are available inexpensively (usually in packages of four) at your grocery store. You can cut
the sponges with standard scissors to t your bandsaw.
• Wheel Belts. The Belts on each of the wheels should give many years of service, but are designed
to be replaced if required. Belts are most easily replaced with the wheel removed from the saw.
Refer to the instructions provide with the new Belts. In an emergency #105 rubber bands can be
substituted, but these will wear quickly and may stick to the blade. If you use rubber bands, remove
the Blade from the saw when you are not cutting to prevent the rubber bands from sticking to the
Blade. Do not run the saw without Belts installed as rapid wear to the wheels will result.
