-18- G1148 15" Bandsaw

Align the fence to the miter slot by first loosening

the two (2) bolts (#109) nearest the operator. Lock

the lower lock knob and measure between the

front edge of the fence (#114) and the front edge

of the miter slot. Compare this to a measurement

taken at the back of the fence and the miter slot.

Swing the fence to correct for any difference and

measure again.When satisfied that both front and

back measurements are equal, carefully tighten

the two bolts at the top of the fence.

Fence operation is controlled by the threaded

handle and knob located on the front of the fence.

The handle, when screwed tight, locks the fence

to the rear rail. The knob on the lower side of the

fence, when screwed tight, locks the fence to the

front rail.To change the fence position, loosen the

handle and knob and slide the fence along the

rails. To relock the fence always tighten the lower

knob first. This helps the fence to square itself to

the rails. Then lock the top handle to secure the

fence.

Fence Adjustment Speed Changes

Loosen the motor mounting bolts and move motor

accordingly to slacken the V-Belt. It should now

be easy to roll the belt onto the pulleys of choice.

There are two pulleys on both the lower bandsaw

wheel and the motor shaft. The belt should be on

either the inner or outer pulley on both the upper

and lower wheels. When the belt is on the pulleys

closest to the motor (inner pulleys) the speed is

2600 RPM. When it is on the outer pulleys the

speed is 1750 RPM. Never cross the belt from the

inner to the outer pulleys.

Tighten the motor mounting bolts and readjust

the belt tension and check the alignment accord-

ing to the instructions provided in the

Maintenance Section.

The G1148 has an integral 4'' dust port built-in to

the lower wheel housing. You will achieve best

results if you connect the machine to a dust col-

lection system when you are using the saw. This

helps to keep the blade and wheels clear of chips

and dust. Plus there is the added benefit of hav-

ing less dust put into the air of your shop. Connect

your dust collection hose securely to this port

using hose clamps, and activate the dust collec-

tion system at the time you start the bandsaw.
