Tracking the Bandsaw Blade
Set the tracking of the blade before setting the blade guides.
Once the blade is installed and tensioned, track the blade by
adjusting the tracking knob by hand (See Fig. 10). The blade
should run in the center of the bandsaw wheel as shown in
(See fig. 9). When the correct adjustment is achieved lock
the tracking knob with the wing nut. (See Fig. 10)

Adjusting the Blade Guides
The saw blade guides of this bandsaw ensure exact blade
position for clean cuts. When using narrow blades, ensure
that the upper and lower blade guides positively support the
blade from both sides and the rear (See Fig. 11).

Set the bearings of the upper and lower blade guides to
within approximately 1/64” of the blade. Adjust the rear upper
and lower thrust bearings to the back of the blade. Position
the thrust bearings so they do not spin while blade is
moving, only when pressure is applied to the blade during
cutting operation (See Fig. 12).

NOTE: Do not set bearings too close, as resulting friction
generates heat, which may have an adverse effect on the
bearings and the saw blade as well.

Tilting the Bandsaw Table
For bevel cuts, the bandsaw table tilts 0 through 45 degrees.

b. It is recommended to verify the correct angle setting using
an angle guide, or by making trial cuts in scrap wood.
Adjust the pointer accordingly by using a phillips head
