3. Mounting the Saw to the Stand

With assistance, carefully lift the band saw body and place it onto the assembled stand. Secure it using the provided hardware. Ensure the saw is level and stable on the stand.

4. Blade Installation and Tensioning

  1. Buka penutup roda atas dan bawah.
  2. Loosen the blade tension knob to allow for blade installation.
  3. Carefully place the blade around the upper and lower rubber-coated wheels, ensuring the teeth are pointing downwards towards the table.
  4. Adjust the blade tracking so the blade runs centrally on the wheels.
  5. Apply appropriate blade tension using the tensioning system. While there isn't a specific tension indicator, ensure the blade is taut enough to prevent twisting during operation.

5. Blade Guide Adjustment

Proper blade guide adjustment is crucial for accurate cuts and blade longevity. The saw features upper and lower blade guides.

  • Adjust the upper blade guide assembly so it is approximately 1/8 inch above the workpiece.
  • Ensure the side guides are set close to the blade, but not touching, allowing the blade to run freely.
  • Adjust the thrust bearing (rear guide bearing) so it is just behind the blade, providing support during cutting without constant contact.
