Black & Decker Saws - Page 14 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

If it is like a Dewalt table saw it requires 2 wrenches, one for the hex nut and the other open end for the spindle shaft. If this doesn't help you can go to their website and look at an operators manual for this particular tool.

Typically the fence is attached to the table and the table can be angled to create a bevel.

Using a square, align the table so it's square to the blade. Assuming your fence is square to the table vertically, you're good.

With most bandsaws I have worked with, there is a positive stop (typically just a bolt - the head acts as the stop) underneath the table so when you tilt the table, you can return it to flat without having to re-square everything up every time. Once you've got things square, make sure to adjust the positive stop too.

Be aware you may still have to compensate for drift with your fence, though.

on the shop vacs that I work on the filter is left in and the bag is removed, but before using for dry pickup make sure filter has time to dry out. Hope this helps

OK, what do you help on?

There should be a special wrench that goes with the machine to loosen the nut.

Don't bother. Return it to the store where it was purchased. No tool should malfunction that early in its life.

There should be a button on the right side of the saw to press in to open the clamp for the blade.

Blade changes require no tools. There will be a pin that engages the hole in the blades.

Try turning it the opposite way. Instead of loosening it, you may be tightening it. Reverse threads on these machines are necessary to keep the flange from flying off by itself. Joe

This model is not equipped with a clutch so its possible that the gears are stripped, shaft broken. If the blade moves freely then this is probably the case. If blade does not move freely, check for any foreign objects between blade and blade housing. I hope this has helped if you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask. Please rate on the helpfulness of the answer. Good Luck and have a great weekend.

You should have 2 hand wheels under there, or bolts, loosen them up, tilt the table, all set. Most band saws tilt, even the smallest and the least expensive. Hope this helps.

try to use google.com put in the make and model number, alot of times they can get you where you need to go and find a good manual

It is a left-handed screw I believe.

Good luck

I found an online manual. I hope it's what you are looking for.
