The Model G0531B/G0566B is the same as the Model G0566, except it has a magnetic brake motor, resaw

fence, and square fence rail. Besides the instructions, data sheet, circuit requirements, parts, and wiring

diagram in this insert, the content in the Model G0566 owner's manual is the same for both machines.

Before operating your new machine, you MUST read and understand this insert and the entire Model G0566

manual to reduce the risk of injury from improper use or setup.

Test Run

1. Follow Steps 1-3 in the G0566 Manual on

Page 24.

2. Verify that the machine is operating correctly

by turning the switch disabling key (Figure 4)

to "1" and turning the machine ON.

—When operating correctly, the machine

runs smoothly with little or no vibration or

rubbing noises.

— Investigate and correct strange or unusual

noises or vibrations before operating the

machine further. Always disconnect the

machine from power when investigating or

correcting potential problems.

3. Press the OFF button to stop the machine.

4. WITHOUT resetting the OFF button, press

the ON button. The machine should not

start.

—If the machine does not start, the OFF but-

ton safety feature is working correctly.

—If the machine does start (with the stop

button pushed in), immediately disconnect

power to the machine. The OFF button

safety feature is not working correctly. This

safety feature must work properly before

proceeding with regular operations. Call

Tech Support for help.

7. Try to turn the machine ON.

—If the bandsaw does not start, the switch

disabling feature is working as designed.

The Test Run is complete.

—If the bandsaw starts, immediately discon-

nect power. The switch disabling feature is

OFF Button

Figure 5. Resetting the switch.

6. Turn the switch disabling key to "0", as shown

in Figure 4.

5. Twist the OFF button clockwise so it pops

out. When the OFF button pops out, the

switch is reset and ready for operation (see

Figure 5).

Motor Brake

The motor brake is activated automatically when

the OFF button is pushed, quickly bringing the

blade to a stop.

4. Adjust the fence face parallel with the edge of

the miter slot, as shown in Figure 6.

Aligning Fence

To ensure cutting accuracy when the fence is first

installed, the fence should be aligned with the

miter slot.

To align the fence parallel with the miter slot:

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Make sure the miter slot is aligned with the

bandsaw blade (see G0566 Manual Page 22,

Table Alignment).

3. Mount the fence next to the miter slot, then

loosen the knobs and cap screw that secure

the fence rail to the table.

NOTICE

Adjusting the fence parallel to the miter

slot does not guarantee straight cuts. The

miter slot may need to be adjusted paral-

lel to the side of the blade. Refer to the

"Table Alignment" instructions in the G0566

Manual on Page 22.

5. Tighten the knobs and cap screw that secure

the rail to the table, being careful not to move

the fence.

slot.

Magnetic Brake Adjustment

The space between the magnetic brake and brake

shoe is preset by the factory at 0.2mm (0.008").

for the brake to stop the motor.

Tools Needed

Phillips Head Screwdriver ................................. 1

US Dollar Bills or Feeler Gauges 0.008" .......... 2

Hex Wrench 3mm .............................................. 1

Hex Wrench 4mm .............................................. 1

To adjust the space between the magnetic

brake and brake shoe:

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Remove the motor fan cover, then loosen the

cap screws securing the motor fan and brake

shoe (see Figure 7).
