SAFETY
For Your Own Safety,
Read Manual Before Operating Machine
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the
safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by
themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention mea-
sures—this responsibility is ultimately up to the operator!
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
WILL result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
COULD result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
MAY result in minor or moderate injury.
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about
proper operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may
cause damage to the machinery.

to use machine. When machine is not being
used, disconnect power, remove switch keys,
or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized
use—especially around children. Make
workshop kid proof!
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury or
accidental contact with cutting tool may
occur if machine is tipped. Machine may be
damaged.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during
operations greatly increases the risk of injury
and loss of control. Verify machines are
stable/secure and mobile bases (if used) are
locked before starting.
ONLY USE AS INTENDED. Only use machine for
its intended purpose. Never modify or alter
machine for a purpose not intended by the
manufacturer or serious injury may result!
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It
will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase the risk of serious
injury.
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand
positions that make workpiece control difficult
or increase the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders a safe distance away from work

Additional Safety for Bandsaws
READ and understand this
entiremanualbeforeusing
this machine. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur
if safety and operational
information is not under-
stood and followed. DO
NOT risk your safety by
not reading!
USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect. Always consider safety first,
as it applies to your individual working
conditions. No list of safety guidelines can
be complete—every shop environment is
different. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage
to equipment or poor work results.
BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull, cracked or badly worn blade. Dull blades require more
effort to perform the cut and increase the risk of kickback. Inspect blades for cracks and missing
teeth before each use.
HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fingers or hands in line with the blade. If the workpiece or your
hands slip, serious personal injury could occur.
BLADE REPLACEMENT. To avoid mishaps that could result in operator injury, make sure the blade teeth
face down toward the table and the blade is properly tensioned and tracked before operating.
SMALL WORKPIECE HANDLING. If your hands slip while holding small workpieces with your fingers
during a cut, serious personal injury could occur. Always support/feed the workpiece with push
sticks, jig, vise, or some type of clamping fixture.
BLADE SPEED. Moving the workpiece against a blade that is not at full speed could cause the blade to
grab the workpiece and draw the operator's hands into the blade. Always allow the blade to come
to full speed before starting the cut.
CUTTING TECHNIQUES. Plan your operation so the blade always cuts to the outside of the workpiece.
DO NOT back the workpiece away from the blade while the saw is running, which could cause
kickback and personal injuries. If you need to back the workpiece out, turn the bandsaw OFF and
wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. DO NOT twist or put excessive stress on the blade
that could damage it.
FEED RATE. To avoid the risk of the workpiece slipping and causing operator injury, always feed stock
evenly and smoothly. DO NOT force or twist the blade while cutting, especially when sawing small
curves.
WORKPIECE MATERIAL. This machine is intended for cutting natural and man-made wood products,
and laminate covered wood products. This machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone,
tile, etc.
BLADE CONTROL. To avoid serious personal injury, DO NOT attempt to stop or slow the blade with your
hand or the workpiece. Allow the blade to stop on its own.

Machine Placement
Cleaning Machine
The table and other unpainted parts of your
bandsaw are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment.
Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-
based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or
acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.
•
•
Floor Load: This machine distributes a
heavy load in a small footprint. Some
residential floors may require additional
bracing to support both machine and
operator.
Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through the machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for
your bandsaw.
NEVER clean with gasoline
or other petroleum-
based solvents. Most have
low flash points, which
make them extremely
flammable. A risk of
explosion and burning
exists if these products
are used. Serious personal
injury may occur if this
warning is ignored!
•
•
Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
Electrical: Electrical circuits must be
dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,
or circuits.
ALWAYS work in well-
ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many
solvents are toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Use
care when disposing
of waste rags and
towels to be sure they
DO NOT create fire or
environmental hazards.
USE helpers or power
lifting equipment to lift
this Bandsaw. Otherwise,
serious personal injury
may occur.
MAKE your shop “child
safe.” Ensure that your
workplace is inaccessible
to children by closing and
locking all entrances when
you are away. NEVER allow
untrained visitors in your
shop when assembling,
adjusting or operating
equipment.

successfully complete the following tasks in the given
order per the instructions on the referenced pages:
1. Assemble the bandsaw, as instructed on this page.
2. Connect the bandsaw to an adequate dust collection
system (see Page 13).
3. Adjust the blade tracking, as instructed on Page 14.
Assembly
The assembly procedure consists of attaching the bandsaw
body to the cabinet stand, installing the trunnion base
and table, and attaching the fence rails to the table.
The bandsaw is
a
heavy load. Get lifting
assistance before you
begin this step.
To assemble the bandsaw, do these steps:
1. Place the cabinet stand in the working location.
— If you plan to mount the bandsaw on a mobile
base, put the stand on it now and secure the
mobile base so that it cannot move for the
remainder of the setup.
2. With the help of another person, carefully place the

Dust Collection
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 take into account many variables,
including the CFM rating of the dust collector, the length
of hose between the dust collector and the machine, the
amount of branches or Y's, and the amount of other open
lines throughout the system. Explaining this calculation
is beyond the scope of this manual. If you are unsure of
your system, consult an expert or purchase a good dust
collection "how-to" book.
DO NOT operate this machine without an adequate
dust collection system. This machine creates substan-
tial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to
use a dust collection system can result in short and
long-term respiratory illness.
To connect a dust collection hose, do these steps:
1. Slide a 4" dust hose over the dust port and secure it
in place with a hose clamp, as shown in Figure 13.
2. Tug on the hose to make sure it is secure.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper dust
collection.

Blade tracking is affected by the tilt of the upper wheel
(known as center tracking) and the alignment of both
wheels (known as coplanar tracking).
NOTICE
If, after properly performing the blade
tracking procedure, the blade is still
not tracking correctly, refer to Aligning
Wheels on Page 47 for additional
solutions.
The wheels on this bandsaw were aligned at the factory,
so center tracking is the only adjustment that needs to be
performed when the saw is new (refer to Aligning Wheels
on Page 47 for detailed instructions on coplanar tracking).
Note: Changes in the blade tension may change the
blade tracking. For best performance, regularly check and
maintain the proper blade tracking.
To center track the blade, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Adjust the upper and lower blade guides away from
the blade (refer to Adjusting Blade Guide Bearings
on Page 24 for detailed instructions).
Note: When adjusting the blade tracking for the
test run in this procedure, the blade must have a
reasonable amount of tension to simulate operating
conditions. After the test run is successfully
completed, you will perform a thorough version of
the following steps to correctly tension the blade.
3. Move the blade tension quick release lever all the
way right (as viewed from the rear of the machine)
to apply tension to the blade (see Figure 14).
4. Use the tension knob on top of the bandsaw to
bring the upper edge of the indicator block to the
appropriate blade tension scale mark for the blade
width (see Figure 14).

Tensioning Blade
A properly tensioned blade is essential for making
accurate cuts, extending the life of the blade, and
making many other bandsaw adjustments. For instance,
every time you replace the blade, you must perform this
procedure because all blades tension differently.
Note: Before you performed the Test Run, you set the
blade to its approximate tension. The following procedure
fine-tunes the blade tension to ensure accurate cutting
results.
To correctly tension the bandsaw blade, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Move the upper and lower guide/support bearings
as far away from the blade as possible (refer to
Adjusting Blade Guide Bearings on Page 24 for
detailed instructions).
Note: This procedure will NOT work correctly if
the guide/support bearings are in contact with the
blade.
3. Move the blade tension quick release lever all the
way right (as viewed from the rear of the machine)
to apply tension to the blade (see Figure 17).
4. Use the tension knob on top of the bandsaw to
bring the upper edge of the indicator block to the
appropriate blade tension scale mark for the blade
width (see Figure 17).

To complete a typical operation, the operator does the
following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is suitable
for cutting.
2. Adjusts the fence for the width of the cut and then
locks it in place.
Figure 34. Padlock installed in the switch.
3. Adjusts the table tilt, if necessary, to the correct
angle of the desired cut.
4. Loosens the guide post lock knob, adjusts the blade
guide height to between 1⁄4" and 1" from the top
of the workpiece using the guide post elevation
handwheel, then tightens the guide post lock knob.
Children or untrained people can
be killed or seriously injured by this
machine. If the machine is accessible to
children or other people, always disable
and lock the switch before leaving the
machine unattended. Place the key in a
well-hidden or secure location.

Cutting Overview
The Model W1706 is capable of performing the following
cuts:
• Miters
• Compound Angles
• Simple/Complex Curves
• Duplicate Parts
• Circles
• Angles
• Resawing
• Ripping
• Crosscutting
• Beveled Curves
Workpiece Inspection
Some wood workpieces are not safe to cut or may require
modification before they are safe to cut.
Before cutting wood, get in the habit of inspecting all
workpieces for the following:
•
•
•
Material Type: This machine is intended for
cutting natural and man-made wood products, and
laminate-covered wood products. Cutting drywall or
cementitious backer board creates extremely fine
dust, which may reduce the life of the bearings. This
machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone,
tile, etc.
Foreign Objects (Figure 38): Nails, staples, dirt,
rocks and other foreign objects are often embedded
in wood. While cutting, these objects can become
dislodged and hit the operator or break the blade,
which might then fly apart. Always visually inspect
your workpiece for these items. If they can't be
removed, DO NOT cut the workpiece.
Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can become
dislodged during the cutting operation. Large knots
can cause blade damage. Choose workpieces that do
not have large/loose knots or plan ahead to avoid
cutting through them.

Model W1706 (Mfg. Since 8/10)
•
•
Wet or "Green" Stock: Cutting wood with a moisture
content over 20% causes unnecessary wear on the
blade and yields poor results.
Because of the unpredictable nature
of cutting warped stock, use extreme
caution. The difference between
acceptable and unacceptable warped
stock varies from machine to machine.
If you are in doubt, square-up the
stock first or do not cut it.
Excessive Warping: Workpieces with excessive
cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous to
cut because they are unstable and can move
unpredictably when being cut. DO NOT cut
excessively warped wood.
•
Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight cupping
can be safely supported if the cupped side faces
the table or fence, as shown in Figure 39. On the
contrary, a workpiece supported on the bowed side
will rock during a cut, leading to loss of control.
Cut with
this side down
Basic Cutting Tips
Here are some basic tips to follow when operating the
bandsaw:
•
Keep the upper blade guide assembly adjusted to
within 1" of the workpiece.
Cut with
this side down
•
•
Use the correct blade for the operation.
Replace, sharpen, and clean blades as necessary.
Make adjustments periodically to keep the saw
running in top condition.
Figure 39. Cutting workpieces with minor
warping.
•
Use light and even pressure while cutting. Light
contact with the blade makes it easier to follow
lines and prevents extra friction, which reduces
blade life.
•
•
Avoid twisting the blade when cutting around tight
corners. Allow the blade to saw around the corners.
Do not back the workpiece away from the blade
while the saw is running.

Table Tilt
The table tilts 45° to the right and 10° to the left for a
wide range of cutting options.
If the bandsaw should unexpectedly
start when making adjustments, severe
personal injury could result. ALWAYS
disconnect the bandsaw from power
before making any adjustments.
To tilt the table, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Loosen the two trunnion lock knobs underneath the
table (see Figure 40), then use the tilt scale on
the front of the trunnion to bring the table to the
desired angle.
Note: When tilting the table to the left, the

Ripping
Ripping is the process of cutting with the grain of the
wood stock. For plywood and other processed wood,
ripping simply means cutting down the length of the
workpiece. For ripping, a wider blade is better. In most
ripping applications, a standard raker tooth style will be
sufficient (refer to Blade Information on Page 37).
NEVER place fingers or hands in the
line of cut. In the event that something
unexpected happens, your hands or
fingers may be pulled into the blade.
ALWAYS use a push stick when ripping
narrow pieces. Failure to follow these
warnings may result in serious personal
injury!
To make a rip cut, do these steps:
1. Adjust the fence to match the width of the cut on
your workpiece and lock the fence in place.
2. Adjust the blade guide assembly to the correct
height.
3. After all safety precautions have been met, turn
the bandsaw ON and wait for the blade to reach full
speed.
4. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade and
continue with the cut until the blade is completely
through the workpiece.
Figure 42 shows a typical ripping operation.
Note: If you are cutting narrow pieces, use a push
stick to protect your fingers.

Crosscutting
Crosscutting is the process of cutting across the grain
of wood. For plywood and other processed wood,
crosscutting simply means cutting across the width of the
material.
To make a 90˚ crosscut, do these steps:
1. Mark the workpiece on the edge where you want to
begin the cut.
2. Adjust the blade guide assembly to the correct
height and make sure the miter gauge is set to 0°
(or other angle for angled cuts).
3. Move the fence out of the way. Place the workpiece
evenly against the miter gauge.
4. Hold the workpiece against the miter gauge and line
up the mark with the blade.
5. After all safety precautions have been met, turn
the bandsaw ON and wait for the blade to reach full
speed.
6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade and
continue the cut until the blade is all the way
through the workpiece.

Resawing
Resawing (see Figure 44 for an example) is the process
of cutting a board into two or more thinner boards. The
maximum board width that can be resawn is limited by
the maximum cutting height of the bandsaw. Maximum
cutting height for this bandsaw is 6".
When resawing thin pieces, a
wandering blade (blade lead) can tear
through the surface of the workpiece,
exposing your hands to the blade
teeth. ALWAYS keep your hands clear
of the blade by using push blocks and
push sticks when resawing.
The Model W1706 is capable of resawing, provided the
saw is set up properly. Use common sense when resawing.
Attempting to resaw too wide or too dense of a board
may put excessive strain on the blade and cause it to
break.
One of the most important considerations when resawing
is blade selection. Use the widest blade possible when
resawing—a wide blade cuts straighter and is less prone to
blade lead (refer to Blade Lead on Page 46 for additional
information). In most applications, a hook or a skip tooth
style will be desirable.
Also, since most resawn lumber will be planed smooth,
you should choose blades with fewer teeth-per-inch
(from 3 to 6 TPI). While blades with fewer teeth-per-inch
produce rougher cuts, these types of blades offer larger
gullet capacities for clearing sawdust.
Figure 44. Example of resawing.
To resaw a workpiece, do these steps:
1. Verify that the bandsaw is setup properly and that
the table is perpendicular to the blade.
2. Use the widest blade your bandsaw will accept. The
blade must also be sharp and clean.
3. Set the fence to the desired width of cut and lock it
in place.
Tip: You can also draw a reference line on the edge
of the board, place the board against the fence, line
up the reference line with the blade, then lock the
fence in place.
4. Support the ends of the board if necessary.
5. Turn the bandsaw ON and wait for the blade to reach
full speed.
6. Keeping even pressure against the fence and table
with the workpiece, slowly feed it into the moving
blade until the blade is completely through the
workpiece.

Cutting Curves
When cutting curves, simultaneously feed and turn the
stock carefully so that the blade follows the layout line
without twisting. Use either a narrower blade or a blade
with more TPI (teeth per inch), or make more relief cuts,
to avoid having to back the workpiece away from the
blade, especially if the curve is sharp.
NOTICE
The chart below displays blade widths
and the corresponding minimum radii
for those widths.
Width
Radius
Always make short cuts first, then proceed to the longer
cuts. Relief cuts will also reduce the chance that the
blade will be pinched or twisted. Relief cuts are cuts
made through the waste portion of the workpiece and
are stopped at the layout line. As you cut along the
layout line, waste wood is released from the workpiece,
alleviating any pressure on the back of the blade. Relief
cuts also make backing the workpiece out easier once the
saw blade has come to a stop, if needed.

Stacked Cuts
One of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to cut
multiple copies of a particular shape by stacking a number
of workpieces together (see Figure 45 for an example).
Before making stacked cuts, ensure that both the table
and the blade are properly adjusted to 90°. Otherwise,
any error will be compounded.
To complete a stacked cut, do these steps:
1. Align your pieces from top to bottom to ensure that
each piece has adequate scrap to provide a clean,
unhampered cut.
Figure 45. Example of stacked cutting.
2. Secure all the pieces together in a manner that
will not interfere with the cutting. Hot glue on the
edges works well, as do brad nails through the waste
portion. (Be careful not to cut into the brads or you
may break the blade!)
3. On the face of the top piece, lay out the shape you
intend to cut.
4. Make relief cuts perpendicular to the outline of your
intended shape in areas where changes in blade
direction could strain the woodgrain or cause the
blade kerf to bind.
5. Cut the stack of pieces as though you were cutting a
single piece. Follow your layout line with the blade
kerf on the waste side of your line.

Blade Information
Selecting the right blade requires a knowledge of the
various blade characteristics to match the blade with the
particular cutting operation.
Blade Length
Measured by the circumference, blade lengths are usually
unique to the brand of your bandsaw and the distance
between wheels. This saw uses 921⁄2" to 931⁄2" long
blades. Refer to Page 40 for blade replacements.
Blade Width
Measured from the back of the blade to the tip of the
blade tooth (the widest point), blade width is often the
first consideration given to blade selection. Blade width
dictates the largest and smallest curve that can be cut, as
well as how accurately it can cut a straight line.

Tooth Style
Figure 49 illustrates the three main tooth styles:
•
Raker: Considered to be the standard because the
tooth size and shape are the same as the tooth
gullet. The teeth on raker blades usually are very
numerous, have no angle, and produce cuts by
scraping the material. As a result, smooth cuts can
be achieved without cutting fast or generating more
heat than other types.
Raker
Skip
Hook
•
•
Skip: Similar to a raker blade that is missing every
other tooth. Because of the design, skip toothed
blades have a much larger gullet than raker blades,
and therefore, cut faster and generate less heat.
However, these blades also leave a rougher cut than
raker blades.
Figure 49. Three main tooth styles.
Blade Breakage
Many conditions may cause a bandsaw
blade to break. Blade breakage is
unavoidable, in some cases, since it is
the natural result of the peculiar stresses
that bandsaw blades are subjected to.
Blade breakage is also due to avoidable
circumstances. Avoidable breakage is most
often the result of poor care or judgement
on the part of the operator when mounting
or adjusting the blade or support guides.
Hook: The teeth have a positive angle (downward)
which makes them dig into the material, and the
gullets are usually rounded for easier waste removal.
These blades are excellent for the tough demands of
resawing and ripping thick material.
Tooth Pitch
Measured as TPI (Teeth Per Inch), tooth pitch determines
the size of the teeth. More teeth per inch (fine pitch)
will cut slower, but smoother; while fewer teeth per inch
(coarse pitch) will cut rougher, but faster. As a general
rule, choose blades that will have at least three teeth
in the material at all times. Use fine-pitched blades on
harder woods and coarse-pitched blades on softer woods.
The most common causes of blade
breakage are:
•
•
Faulty alignment/adjustment of the
guides.
Forcing/twisting a wide blade around
a short radius.
Blade Care
A bandsaw blade is a thin piece of steel that is subjected
to tremendous strain. You can obtain longer use from a
bandsaw blade if you give it fair treatment and always use
the appropriate feed rate for your operation. Be sure to
select blades with the proper width, style, and pitch for
each application. The wrong choice of blades will often
produce unnecessary heat which will shorten the life of
your blade.
•
•
•
•
Feeding the workpiece too fast.
Dull teeth or damaged tooth set.
Over-tensioned blade.
Top blade guide assembly set too high
above the workpiece.
Using a blade with a lumpy or
improperly finished braze or weld.
Continuously running the bandsaw
when not in use.
Leaving blade tensioned when not in
use.
•
•
•
•
A clean blade will perform much better than a dirty
blade. Dirty or gummed up blades pass through the
cutting material with much more resistance than clean
blades. This extra resistance also causes unnecessary
heat. Resin/pitch cleaners are excellent for cleaning dirty
blades.
Using the wrong TPI for the workpiece
thickness. (The general rule of thumb
is three teeth in the workpiece at all
times.)

MAINTENANCE
General
Regular periodic maintenance on your machine will
ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of
inspecting your machine each time you use it.
On a daily basis, check for the following conditions
and repair or replace when necessary:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Loose mounting bolts.
Worn switch.
MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all maintenance pro-
cedures! If this warning is ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
Damaged or worn V-belt.
Damaged or worn blade support and guide bearings.
Damaged or glazed wheel rubber tires.
Any other condition that could hamper the safe
operation of this machine.
Lubrication
The sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings
on this bandsaw require no lubrication for
the life of the bearings. All bearings are
standard sizes, and replacements can be
purchased from our parts department or a
bearing supply store.
Cleaning
Frequently blow-off sawdust with compressed air. This is
especially important for the internal working parts and
motor. Dust build-up around the motor is a sure way to
decrease its life span. Additionally, open the wheel covers
and clean away any sawdust and built-up grime.
As for other items on this machine, such as
adjustment controls, wipe off any sawdust
with a clean cloth, towel or dry paint
brush, then apply a small amount of light
machine oil.
Protecting Table
The table can be kept rust-free with regular applications
of products like SLIPIT®. For long term storage you may
want to consider products like Boeshield T-9™.
Take care oil does not get on the pulleys
or belt that would cause belt deterioration
and slippage and a reduction in power
efficiency.

dures! If this warning is ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
Redressing Rubber Tires
As the bandsaw ages, the rubber tires may need to
be redressed if they become hardened or glazed over.
Redressing the rubber tires improves blade tracking and
reduces vibration/blade lead.
If the rubber tires become too worn, then blade tracking
will become extremely difficult. At that point, redressing
will no longer be effective and the tires must be
replaced.
To redress the rubber tires, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Put on heavy leather gloves, then remove the blade.
3. Clean any built-up sawdust from the rubber tires.
4. Hold 100 grit sandpaper against the rubber tire and
rotate the wheel by hand. Only redress the rubber
enough to expose a fresh rubber surface.
6. Re-install the blade, then check blade tension (refer
to Page 17) and tracking (refer to Page 14).

Blade Lead
Bandsaw blades may wander off the cut line when sawing,
as shown in Figure 58—this is called blade lead. Blade
lead is usually caused by too fast of a feed rate, a dull or
damaged blade, or improper blade tension. If your blade
is sharp/undamaged, properly tensioned and you still have
blade lead, perform the following procedures.
Correcting Blade Lead
1. Use less pressure when feeding the workpiece
through the cut.
2. Make sure that the fence is parallel to the blade
line, and the miter gauge body is perpendicular to
the blade.
Figure 58. Example of blade lead.
3. Check for proper blade tension. If the blade tension
is correct and it is not convenient to replace the
blade, compensate for lead by skewing the fence or
shifting the table.
Items Needed

parallel to the long edge.
2. Slide the fence out of the way and cut free-hand
along the line. Stop at the halfway point. Turn the
bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade to stop.
Cap Screws
Figure 59. Fence alignment cap screws.
3. Clamp the board to the bandsaw table without
moving it. Now slide the fence over to the board so
it barely touches one end of the board.
4. Loosen the four fence alignment cap screws shown in
Figure 59.
5. Skew the fence left or right so it is parallel to the
edge of the scrap piece.
6. While maintaining the skew, tighten the cap screws.

The skew the table, do these steps:
1. On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is
perpendicular to the front edge. Starting where the
line begins, cut the board by pushing it through the
blade with the miter gauge.
2. Loosen the six trunnion bolts that secure the table
(see Figure 60). Shift the table to compensate
for the difference between the cut edge of the
workpiece and the mark you made in Step 1.
Trunnion Bolt
(1 of 6)
Note: Keep in mind that as the table alignment is
changed, so is the fence alignment.
3. Repeat Steps 1–2 until the blade cuts straight when
wood is pushed through with the miter gauge.
Figure 60. Location of trunnion bolt.
4. Re-tighten the trunnion bolts to secure the setting.
Aligning Wheels
Wheel alignment is one of the easiest ways to ensure
you get optimal performance from your bandsaw. When
wheels are aligned, or coplanar, the bandsaw is more
likely to cut straight without wandering; and vibration,
heat, and blade wear are considerably decreased because
the blade is automatically balanced on the wheel. This is
known as “Coplanar Tracking.”

3. With the blade installed and properly tensioned, hold a straightedge close to the center of both
wheels. Make sure the straightedge fully extends across the wheels, as shown in Figure 61 on the
previous page.
— If the wheels are coplanar (see Figure 62, "A"), the straightedge will evenly touch the top and
bottom of both wheels.
— If the wheels are not coplanar (see Figure 62, "B"), place the straightedge on the lower wheel
first (ensuring that it touches both the top and bottom rim), then adjust the upper wheel
tracking knob to make the upper wheel coplanar with the lower wheel.
— If the wheels are coplanar (parallel with each other), but the straightedge does not touch the
rims of both wheels (see Figure 62, "C"), then shim the wheels as instructed on the next page.

Shimming a Wheel
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. With a straightedge touching both points of
whichever wheel is forward most, measure the
distance the straightedge is away from the out-
of-adjustment upper wheel (see Figure 63 for an
example).
3. Remove the blade from the saw, then remove the
wheel that needs to be shimmed.
4. Determine the amount of shim washers necessary to
compensate for the distance measured in Step 3,
then place them on the wheel shaft.

wheel is out of adjustment.
6. Properly tension the blade, then check the wheels
with the straightedge.
Note: Wheel coplanarity changes as the blade is
tightened, so it is best to check the wheel alignment
when the blade is fully tensioned as it would be for
normal operations.
7. When the wheels are coplanar and even with each
other, place a mark on each wheel where you held
the straightedge. This assures repeated accuracy
every time you adjust your wheels.
Note: When wheels are properly coplanar, the blade
may not be centered on the crown of the wheel, but
it will be balanced.
8. Secure the wheel covers and re-install the table
before re-connecting the bandsaw to power.
9. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly (refer
to Page 14).

Electrical Safety Instructions
These pages are current at the time of printing. However, in the spirit of improvement, we may
make changes to the electrical systems of future machines. Study this diagram carefully. If you notice
differences between your machine and these wiring diagrams, call Woodstock International Technical
Support at (360) 734-3482.
1. SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is
connected to a power source is extremely
dangerous. Touching electrified parts will
result in personal injury including but not
limited to severe burns, electrocution,
or death. Disconnect the power from
the machine before servicing electrical
components!
5. MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown
in these diagrams is current at the time
of printing, but it may not match your
machine. Always use the wiring diagram
inside the motor junction box.
6. MODIFICATIONS. Using aftermarket parts or
modifying the wiring beyond what is shown
in the diagram may lead to unpredictable
results, including serious injury or fire.
2. QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. Due to the
inherent hazards of electricity, only a
qualified electrician should perform wiring
tasks on this machine. If you are not a
qualified electrician, get help from one
before attempting any kind of wiring job.
7. CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical
charge for up to five minutes after being
disconnected from the power source. To
avoid being shocked, wait at least this long
before working on these components.
3. WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening
during machine operation. Double-check all
wires disconnected or connected during any
wiring task to ensure tight connections.
8. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS. You MUST
follow the electrical requirements at the
beginning of this manual when connecting
your machine to a power source.
4. WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged
wires or components increase the risk of
serious personal injury, fire, or machine
damage. If you notice that any wires or
components are damaged while performing
a wiring task, replace those wires or
