The variable speed of this bandsaw is achieved 
using a spindle pulley assembly sleeve and a gear 
box. When adjusting the speed with the hand wheel, 
the beveled spindle pullies move relative as a v-belt 
moves up (or down) the diameter of the pullies as 
the gap expands.  There are two gear sets available 
on the 18CX saw. To switch between the two: 

 

Use Caution:  

Adjust the speed gearing with the saw 

turned off. Adjust the speed (with hand wheel) only 

while the saw is in on and running. Vice-Versa will 

cause damage to the machine and could injure the 

operator 

Use Caution:  

Never start the 18CX saw with slack 

in the belt. Doing so can cause machine damage as 

the belt is forced to pull through the slack. 

 

CHANGING THE SPEED GEARING (SAW TURNED 

OFF) 

1.

 

Turn the saw in the off position. Make sure it 
stays off while changing the gearing. 

2.

 

Adjust from high to low or from low to high. The 
middle setting has no action. 

NOTE: 

If the gear 

is stubborn to move, use caution and slightly 
turn the lower wheel of the bandsaw. Doing this 
simultaneously while attempting to change the 
gearing works best. 

 

 

1.

 

Turn the saw in the off position. Make sure it 
stays off while changing the gearing. 

 

 

2.

 

Adjust from high to low or from low to high. The 
middle setting has no action. If the adjustment is 
stubborn, remember that these are gear cogs 
fitting into one another. Turn the lower bandsaw 
wheel and re-try. It works best to apply force to 
the adjustment handle and slowly spin the 
bandsaw wheel, simultaneously.
