Once the table is at 90°
with the blade, re-
tighten the lock nut and the table lock
knobs.
TABLE TILT SCALE
To calibrate the table tilt scale:
Make sure the table is at 90° to the blade
and the blade tensioning and tracking is
properly set. (See Page 12 & page 17 for
details)
Loosen the screw on the pointer shown in
figure-30. Align the tip of the pointer with
the “0” mark on the tilt scale and tighten the
pointer screw.

TABLE ALIGNMENT
To make accurate cuts with your band saw,
the table should be aligned properly with
the blade.
TO ALIGN THE TABLE:
Make sure the blade tension and tracking is
done correctly.
Disconnect the machine from the power
source and loosen the table lock knobs
under the table.
Place a straightedge on the table so that
the straightedge touches the blade and is
parallel to it as shown in figure-31. Make
sure the straight-edge touches only the flat
part of the blade, not the teeth.
Figure-31 Checking the table alignment
Now, use a ruler to measure the distance
between the miter slot and the straightedge
on both sides (R & L) on the table. See
figure-31.
Loosen the table lock knobs and adjust the
table until the distance on both sides of the
table is equal and re-tighten the table lock
knobs.
