Fence
The bandsaw is supplied with a cast iron or aluminum fence depending on the
machine that you purchased. Assemble the fence to the cast-iron bracket with
the bolts and steel block provided. Adjustment and squaring of the fence will be
covered later in the manual. Slide the bracket onto the round steel bar
[attached to the table]. The fence is used to the left of the blade, so ensure
that it is on the correct side of the table before locking in position with the
ratchet handle provided. Note: The aluminum fence can be fitted so that it can
be used in high or low position [also covered later in the manual].
Dust collection
The bandsaw must be connected to a dust collection system or machine. As a
general rule the stronger the extraction, the better; but 1,000 cubic feet a
minute is the minimum that should be used. The diameter of the dust collection
port on the bandsaw is 4". Most US standard hoses are 4" in diameter. You can
purchase a step-down adaptor from Laguna Tools or from your local hardware
store in the plumbing or heating department if you
use a smaller hose.
