16. re-install the table pin and table insert. 17. Fasten the rear rail to the back of the table with the four M6-1 x 16 cap screws, as shown in figure 15. figure 15. rear rail installed. 18. Attach the front rail to the front of the bandsaw table with the two M6-1 x 20 hex bolts, 6mm lock washers and flat washers, as shown in figure 16. 19. install the handle on the fence assembly (figure 17), and tighten the hex nut against the fence pivot block to secure the handle. pivot Block hex nut figure 17. handle installed on fence assembly. 20. place the 8mm flat washer on the locking adjustment handle and slide it through the hole in the fence. 21. thread the moving plate onto the end of the locking adjustment handle threads. 22. Slide the resaw fence over the moving plate, as shown in figure 18, so the moving plate fits inside the channel of the resaw fence. figure 16. installed front rail. figure 18.

Recommended cfM at Dust port: 400 cfM Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book. To connect a dust collection hose: 1. Fit the 4" dust hose over the dust port, as shown in figure 21, and secure in place with a hose clamp. 2. tug the hose to make sure it does not come off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper performance. figure 21. dust hose attached to dust port. g0457 14" industrial Bandsaw (Mfg. Since 5/11) -19 Blade Tracking the blade tracking is primarily affected by the tilt of the upper wheel, also known as "Center tracking"; and the alignment of both wheels, also known as "Coplanar tracking." (For Coplanar tracking, see the Wheel Alignment instructions on page 49.) the wheels on the Model g0457 were aligned at the factory, so Center tracking is the only adjustment that needs to be performed when the saw is new. To center track the blade: 1. diSConneCt BAndSAW FroM poWer! 2. Adjust the upper and lower guide bearings and support bearings as far away as possible from the blade. 3. open the upper wheel cover. 4. Adjust blade tension until the mark on the blade tension scale matches the size of the installed blade. The cast iron spokes may have sharp edges and the blade teeth may extend beyond the edge of the wheel, creating a laceration hazard. Be careful when turning the wheels by hand. 5. Spin the upper wheel by hand at least three times and watch how the blade rides on the crown of the wheel. refer to figure 22 for an illustration of this concept. —If the blade rides in the center of the upper wheel and is centered on the peak of the wheel crown, then the bandsaw is already tracked properly and no further adjustments are needed at this time. —If the blade does not ride in the center of the upper wheel and is not centered on the peak of the wheel crown, then continue with the following steps. Blade Centered on peak of Crown Blade Centered on Wheel Wheel Center trACKing figure 22.

Spin the upper wheel with one hand and rotate the tracking control knob with the other hand to make the blade ride in the center of the bandsaw wheel tire. 8. tighten the tracking control lock knob and close the upper wheel cover. For the best performance from your saw, regularly maintain the proper tracking of the blade. NOTICE changes in the blade tension may change the blade tracking. -20 g0457 14" industrial Bandsaw (Mfg.
