OPERATION
CONNECT A DUST COLLECTOR
The band saw provides a dust port for collecting
various size hoses. It should be connected with a
dust collector during any sawing operations. Ex-
cess debris gets collected into the dust drawer un-
derneath which should be routinely cleaned out.
Dust port sizes include 1-3/4 inches, 2-3/4 inches,
and 3-3/4 inches.

CUTTING CURVES WITH THE CIRCLE CUTTING GUIDE
To make a circular cut, use as narrow of a saw blade as is necessary for the radius of the circle.
1. Draw a circle and its center point on the
wood workpiece (Fig. 34).
2. Set the fence to the desired position where
the saw blade is in line to the tangent of the cir-
cle mark, keeping the wood work piece guided
by the fence. Turn on the bandsaw and cut off
the workpiece (Fig. 34).
3. Put the remainder of the workpiece with the
circle mark onto the table. Align the point of
tangency to the saw blade teeth. Set the center
pin in the center of the circle, fixing it in place
with the tightening knob (Fig. 35 - 1). Turn on
the bandsaw, slowly rotate and feed the work-
piece into the saw blade.
4. Aside from circles, this cutting accessory
can also help you easily cut out round corners
(Fig. 36).
