OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont
Upper guide:
The lateral support bearings should be set so that they are approximately 0.5 mm
away from the blade.
• Loosen (no need to remove) the bearing support screws (A).
• Slide the bearing assembly left / right until it is in the correct position.
• Re-tighten the bearing support screws.
A
The rear thrust bearings should be set so that they are approximately 3 mm behind the
blade. They will only come into contact with the blade as the work-piece is being cut.
Due to the many different sizes of band-saw blades available, the rear support bearing
needs to have extra movement compared to the lateral support bearings. This is
achieved by having 3 different points of movement as opposed to 1 on the lateral sup-
port bearings.
A B
C
• Loosen the required allen bolt/s.
• Move the bearing, bearing assembly and/or the pole until the bearing is set in
the correct position.
• Re-tighten all of the allen bolts to secure the bearing in place.
Allen bolt A - This allows the bearing assembly
support pole to be moved and should be utilised
when large movement is required.
Allen bolt B - This allows the bearing support
assembly to be moved on the pole.
Allen bolt C - This allows the bearing to move
along the channel on the bearing support as-
sembly and should be utilised when only a small
amount of movement is required.
