MAINTENANCE
Checking and setting the table angle:
The angle between the blade and the main table of the saw is accurately set at the
factory. However time and use of the band-saw may mean that this angle needs to be
checked and re-set.
• Place a suitable set square (or similar) against the table and the blade.
Caution! Before carrying out any maintenance, ensure that the band-saw is
turned off and that the plug is removed from the mains supply.
• Loosen the table tilt locking handle and adjust the table until it is accurately set
to 90° to the blade.
• If necessary adjust the table stop screw underneath the table.
• Once the angle is accurately set, lock off the tilt locking handle.
• Check that the scale pointer reads 0°.
• If it does not, loosen the screw and set the pointer at 0 and re-tighten the
screw.
