Moving & Placing Base Unit Model G0514X2/G0514X3 is a heavy machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not used. Get assistance and use power equipment to move the shipping crate and remove the machine from the crate. To move and place the bandsaw using the eye bolt: Figure 16.

Mounting Bolting to Concrete Floors Figure 19 Figure 18 Figure 19 NOTICE Anchor studs are stronger and more per- manent alternatives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.
Model G0514X: Figure 21 Figure 21. Model G0514X2/G0514X3: Blade Tracking Personal injury or death can occur if the machine starts while your hand is touching the bandsaw wheel during tracking adjustments.

Positive Stop Personal injury or death can occur if the bandsaw starts during table adjust- ments. Disconnect power from the bandsaw before performing table adjust- ments. To install the positive stop: Figure 25. To position the positive stop: Figure Figure 26. Figure 26 Figure 59 Page...
Dust Collection DO NOT operate the Model G0514X/G0514X/ G0514X3 without an adequate dust collection system. This saw creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness. Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector.

Adjusting Support Bearings NOTICE Whenever changing a blade or adjusting ten- sion and tracking, the upper and lower blade support bearings and blade guide bearings must be properly adjusted before perform- ing cutting operations. To adjust the upper support bearings: Figure 40 Figure 40.
Note: For a quick gauge, fold a dollar bill in half twice (four thicknesses of a dollar bill is approxi- mately 0.016") and place it between the support bearing and the blade as shown in Figure 43 Figure 43. To adjust the lower support bearings: Figure 44 Figure 44.
Page 41
Figure 45 Figure 45. Note: The " spacing is ideal, although with larger blades it may not be possible. In such cases, adjust the guide bearings as far for- ward as possible to the blade gullets, and still maintain the proper support bearing spacing adjustment.
Aligning Table To align the table so the miter slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade: Make sure the straightedge does not go across a tooth. Figure 47 Figure 47. Aligning Fence To align the fence parallel with the miter slot: Note: Figure 48.

Workpiece Inspection Before cutting wood, get in the habit of inspecting all workpieces for the following: Material Type: Foreign Objects (Figure 55): Large/Loose Knots: Wet or "Green" Stock: Excessive Warping: Minor Warping: Figure 56 Figure 55. Figure 56. Because of its unpredicatable nature, use extreme caution if cutting warped stock.
Foot Brake Figure 57 NOTICE The foot brake will not stop the bandsaw wheels and blade instantly. DO NOT become over confident and relax your safety aware- ness because of the foot brake feature. Make sure the bandsaw blade has stopped mov- ing completely before leaving the machine.
Page 49
Tilting G0514X2/G0514X3 Table Figure 59 Personal injury or death can occur if the bandsaw starts during table adjust- ment. Disconnect power from the bandsaw before performing table adjust- ments. Figure 59. Figure 59 To adjust the blade guide assembly on the guide post: Figure 60 Figure 60.
Fine Tune Tracking NOTICE Adjusting the final blade tracking setting requires the machine to be turned ON. To fine tune the tracking: Figure 61 Figure 61. To make a rip cut: row pieces, use a push stick to protect your fingers.
Page 51
Crosscutting To make a 90˚ crosscut: Figure 63 Figure 63. Resawing Figure 64 Figure 64. When resawing thin pieces, a wandering blade (blad lead) can tear through the sur- face of the workpiece, exposing your hands to the blade teeth. Always use push blocks when resawing and keep your hands clear of the blade.
To resaw a workpiece: Note: The blade must also be sharp and clean. NOTICE The scale on the front rail will NOT be accu- rate when using the resaw fence. Figure 64 Cutting Curves NOTICE The list below displays blade widths and the corresponding minimum radii for those blade widths.
Page 53
Stacked Cuts To complete a stacked cut: Figure 65 Figure 65. Blade Speed To adjust the blade speed: Figure 66 Figure 66.
Page 56
The most common causes of blade breakage are: Blade Changes Always disconnect power to the machine when changing blades. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. All saw blades are dan- gerous and may cause personal injury. To reduce the risk of being injured, wear leather gloves when handling saw blades.
Page 57
To replace a blade: Note: If the teeth will not point downward in any orientation, the blade is inside-out. Put on heavy gloves, remove the blade, and twist it right side-out. Figure 71. Figure Page 30...
