8. SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
A. The upper blade guide should be set as close as practical against 
the work piece.
B. To adjust this height, loosen the wing nut at the side of the upper 
wheel housing. (See FIG. 18)
C. Set the blade guide to the required height by turning the guide 
post adjusting knob.
D. Tighten the wing nut after setting proper height.
11. ADJUSTING THE BLADE GUIDES
The Upper Blade Guide
A. To adjust the upper blade guides, first position the right and left 
roller guides relative to the blade by loosening the lock nut (FIG. 19) 
and moving the guide carrier until both roller guides are 
approximately 1/16” behind the gullets of the saw blade.
B. Set both roller guides to within 1/32” of the saw blade by 
releasing the guide adjusting screw (FIG. 19) on each side of the 
saw blade and moving the guides to desired position. Lock the roller 
guide in position with the guide adjusting screw. Do not set the roller 
guides too close as this will adversely affect the life of the saw blade.
C. Adjust the rear roller guide to be just clear of the back of the saw 
blade by releasing the guide adjusting screw FIG. 20 and moving the 
guide to approximately 1/32” behind the blade. 
D. When the correct adjustment is reached, lock the roller guide in 
position with the guide adjusting screw FIG. 20.

12. CHANGING THE BLADE SPEED
WARNING: Before changing the speed always make sure the 
machine has been unplugged from the electrical supply.
This band saw has two blade speeds:
A. 1620 feet/min for hardwoods, some plastics and certain 
nonferrous metals. 
B. 3340 feet/min for all other timber.
The lower bandwheel has two, integral, multi-vee form pulleys and 
the motor shaft has a twin multi-vee form pulley. 
The drive belt passes around the bandwheel pulley, the motor pulley 
and the tension wheel. The belt tension is released and applied by 
using the crank handle (See FIG. 22). This moves the tension wheel 
and allows the speed to be changed.
(See DRIVE BELT POSITIONS HIGH/LOW SPEED on page 10)
The Lower Blade Guide
A. To adjust the lower blade guides, first position the right and left 
roller guides relative to the blade by loosening the lock nut (FIG. 21) 
and moving the guide carrier until both roller guides are 
approximately 1/16” behind the gullets (See Inset, FIG. 19) of the 
saw blade. 
B. Set both roller guides to within 1/32” of the saw blade by releasing 
the guide adjusting screw (FIG. 21) and moving the guide to desired 
position. Lock the roller guide in position with the guide adjusting 
screw. Do not set the roller guides too close as this will adversely 
affect the life of the saw blade.
C. Adjust the rear roller guide to be just clear of the back of the saw 
blade by unlocking the guide adjusting screw (FIG. 21) and moving 
the guide to approximately 1/32” behind the blade.
