4. If the vise and blade are square but the

pointer (D, Figure 10) is off slightly, loosen

the screw and adjust the pointer until it lines

up with zero on the scale. Tighten the

screw.

NOTE: The handle (A, Figure 10) is adjustable.

Simply lift up on the handle and rotate it on the

pin. Release the handle, making sure it seats

itself properly on the pin.

Setting 45° Stop

Swivel the bow to the 45° angle. Use a

machinist’s protractor or similiar 45° device to

check the blade’s angle to the vise.

If adjustment is needed, loosen the hex nut on

the 45° stop (E, Figure 10) and rotate the screw

as needed with a 10mm wrench. When satisfied,

tighten the hex nut.

Setting Downfeed Rate

The downfeed rate of the blade is important to

band saw performance. Excessive pressure of

blade against the workpiece may break the

blade or stall the saw. In contrast, insufficient

pressure rapidly dulls the blade.

Turn the valve lever (F, Figure 11) parallel to the

hydraulic cylinder (K, Figure 11) to lower the

bow. The rate of downfeed is adjusted by the

dial (G, Figure 11).

The stop screw (H, Figure 11) prevents the

blade from contacting the base after the cut. It

has been adjusted at the factory. If future

adjustment is ever needed, loosen the hex nut

(J, Figure 11) with a 14mm wrench and rotate

the screw (H, Figure 11) as needed, then re-

tighten the hex nut (J, Figure 11).

Positioning the Vise

Keep hands away from blade

while adjusting the vise.

1. The workpiece is placed against the fixed

jaw on the right, which has already been

squared (see “Squaring Vise to Blade”).

2. The vise has a quick-release feature which

allows fast positioning of the movable jaw

against the workpiece. Disengage the lead

screw by rotating the vise handwheel

counter-clockwise about 1/2 turn. See

Figure 12.
