Adjustments

Tension knob
• The tension knob (A) lowers and lifts the upper flywheel
to control tension in the cutting band. To loosen the band
tension turn the knob in a counter clockwise direction and
the tension indicator (B) will go down. To tighten the
band tension, turn the knob in a clockwise direction and
the tension indicator will go up.
Depth knob
• The depth knob (C) pushes and pulls the upper flywheel
to perfectly center the cutting band.
• Once the band is set and tense, with your hand turn the
upper flywheel in a clockwise direction to verify the band
runs in the center of the flywheel.
• If the band is not centered in the flywheel loosen the
butterfly nut (C ) and turn the knob (C) until the band is
1
centered.
• Once the band is centered, secure the depth knob with
the butterfly nut.

• Loosen the knob (D) to adjust the cutting guide height
(E). The guide shall be set in 0.15" distance from the work
piece.

hard wood, some plastics and some non-ferrous metals and
2953 ft / min for the rest of woods.
• Turn OFF and disconnect the equipment before changing
speeds.
• To change speeds, first loosen the tension screw (F) by
means of the crank (G). This loosens the band (H) to be set
it in the adequate position in the flywheel pulleys ( I ) and
those in the motor ( J ).
• Remove the lower flywheel and set up the band.
• For high speed (2953 ft / min), the band shall be set in
the rear pulleys both in the motor and the flywheel.
• For low speed (1440 ft / min), the band shall be set in
the front pulleys, both in the motor and the flywheel.
