SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Wood working can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As
with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using
the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator
may result.
Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, feather boards, goggles, dust
masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t
make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and
exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it.
REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN

SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
Dear Valued Customer:

• All Baileigh woodworking machines should be used only for their intended use.
• Baileigh does not recommend or endorse making any modifications or alterations to a
Baileigh machine. Modifications or alterations to a machine may pose a substantial risk of
injury to the operator or others and may do substantial damage to the machine.
• Any modifications or alterations to a Baileigh machine will invalidate the machine's warranty.
Please enjoy your Baileigh machine! ....Please enjoy it SAFELY!
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE
MACHINE. Learn the machine’s application and limitations as well as the specific hazards.
2. Only trained and qualified personnel should operate this machine.
3. Make sure guards are in place and in proper working order before operating
machinery.
4. Condition of Blade. DO NOT operate if the blade is cracked, dull, or badly worn. Dull
blades are difficult to control and require more effort to use. Before each use, inspect blades
thoroughly for cracks and missing teeth. Replace as required.
5. Hand Placement. NEVER position fingers or thumbs in line with the cut. Serious personal
injury could occur.
6. Remove any adjusting tools. Before operating the machine, make sure any adjusting tools
have been removed.
7
7
7. Blade Replacement. When replacing a blade, make sure the teeth face down and toward
the piece part. Properly tension the blade before operating the saw.
8. Piece Part Material. This band saw is designed to cut wood only. It is not designed to cut
metal or use cutting fluid.
9. Handling of Piece Part. NEVER hold small piece parts with your fingers when cutting.
Always feed the piece part with a feed stick and secure the material with clamping fixture,
vise, or table support as necessary.
10. Cutting Techniques. Plan your cuts so you always cut out of the wood. DO NOT back the
piece part away from the blade while the saw is running. If you need to back the work out,
turn the saw OFF and let the blade come to a complete stop. Never twist or put excessive
stress on the blade.
11. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
12. Overloading machine. By overloading the machine, you may cause injury from flying parts.
DO NOT exceed the specified machine capacities.
13. Blade Control. DO NOT attempt to slow down or stop the blade with your hand or with a
piece part. Unless your saw is equipped with a brake, allow the blade to stop on it’s own.
14. Dress appropriate. DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in
moving machine parts. Protective clothing and steel toe shoes are recommended when
using machinery. Wear a restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
15. Feed Rate. ALWAYS feed the stock smoothly and evenly. DO NOT force or twist the blade
while cutting. Be especially careful when cutting piece parts with small radii.
16. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ISO approved impact safety goggles.
17. Keep Hands Clear. ALWAYS use a brush, not your hands or fingers, to clear away chips
and dust.
18. Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. DO NOT reach over or
across a running machine.
19. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. DO NOT operate any tool or
machine when you are tired.
20. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool or machine, carefully check any part that
appears damaged. Check for binding of moving parts that may affect proper machine
operation.
21. Observe work area conditions. DO NOT use machines or power tools in damp or wet
locations. Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. DO NOT use electrically
powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
22. DO NOT bypass or defeat any safety interlock systems.
23. Know the location of the ON - OFF switch and the “E”- STOP button.
8
8
24. Removing Piece Parts. Before removing cut-offs, always turn the saw OFF, and wait for the
blade to stop moving.
25. Blade Guide Positioning. Adjust and position the upper and lower blade guides before
starting the cut. The upper blade guide should be positioned approximately 1/8” (3mm)
above the material.
26. Blade Adjustment. Adjust the blade tension and tracking before starting the cut.
27. Supporting Piece Part. Provide adequate support to the sides and front of the band saw for
material that is extra wide and long.
28. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area.
29. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. DO NOT let them
handle machines, tools, or extension cords.
30. DO NOT operate machine if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels on prescriptions. If there is any doubt, DO NOT operate the machine.
31. DO NOT touch live electrical components or parts.
32. Be Sure all equipment is properly installed and grounded according to national, state, and
local codes. If machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a
three-hole electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong
receptacle, the adapter plug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the third
prong.
33. Inspect power and control cables periodically. Replace if damaged or bare wires are
exposed. Bare wiring can kill!
34. Maintain machine in top condition. Keep clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
35. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before
plugging in power cord.
36. Never leave machine running unattended. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave machine until
it comes to a complete stop.
37. Make sure machine is disconnected from power supply while motor is being mounted,
connected or reconnected.
38. Saw Appropriate Material. Only use this saw for natural wood stock and wood stock
products such as particle board, plastics, laminates, and medium-density fibre board (MDF).
DO NOT try and cut metal, glass, ceramics, or products containing asbestos or lead paint.
Some of these materials contain hazardous dust and can cause severe respiratory
problems.
39. Warning: The dust generated by certain woods and wood products can be injurious to your
health. Always operate machinery in well-ventilated areas and provide for proper dust
removal. Use a wood dust collection system whenever possible.

UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS
Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete. Separate all parts from the packing material and
check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any
packing material.
WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic

bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children
and animals.
If any parts are missing, DO NOT place the machine into service until the missing
parts are obtained and installed correctly.
Cleaning
WARNING: DO NOT USE gasoline or other petroleum products to clean

the machine. They have low flash points and can explode or cause fire.
CAUTION: When using cleaning solvents work in a well-ventilated area.

Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled.
Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy coating and/or grease on the exposed
unpainted metal surfaces. Fully and completely remove this protective coating using a
degreaser or solvent cleaner. Moving items will need to be moved along their travel path to
allow for cleaning the entire surface. For a more thorough cleaning, some parts will occasionally
have to be removed. DO NOT USE acetone or brake cleaner as they may damage painted
surfaces.
Follow manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning,
wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.
Important: This waxy coating is NOT a lubricant and will cause the machine to
stick and lose performance as the coating continues to dry.

TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
IMPORTANT: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers,
such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the
lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced.
Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley:

• The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 – 2 times
the machines gross weight.
• Make sure the machine is balanced. While
transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and maintain
a safe clearance zone around the transport area.
• Use a fork lift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks
that are long enough to reach the complete width of
the machine.
• Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine to
the pallet.
• Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there
are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
• Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
• Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no
rocking is taking place.
Follow these guidelines when lifting crane or hoist:

• Always lift and carry the machine with the lifting holes provided at the top of the machine.
• Use lift equipment such as straps, chains, capable of lifting 1.5 to 2 times the weight of the
machine.
• Take proper precautions for handling and lifting.
• Check if the load is properly balanced by lifting it an inch or two.
• Lift the machine, avoiding sudden accelerations or quick changes of direction.
• Locate the machine where it is to be installed, and lower slowly until it touches the floor.

and then uncrate the saw and remove the screws (A) that
secure it to the crate.
Model WBS-22 only
Two hoisting eyebolts B are supplied for installation on

top of the saw C to facilitate lifting and setting the saw
down.
Make sure to use an appropriate capacity hoist or forklift

with chains properly secured to the hoisting eyebolts,
lifting the saw from the crate, and carefully setting it down
in the desired location.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:
• Overall weight of the machine.
• Weight of material being processed.
• Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
• Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.
• Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
• Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
• Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
• Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
• Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.
• It is important to maintain free area around the machine, which is required for the working
place. If any long material is machined, it is necessary to have a sufficient room in front of
the machine as well behind it in the places of material input and output.

• LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it
should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on
the precise placement of it to the mounting surface.
• FLOOR: This tool distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that
the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator.
The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to
eliminate by using shims.
• WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be
processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
• POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the
machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be
sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.
PLACEMENT AND SAFETY ZONE

Placement WBS-18-1.0 WBS-22
This machine should be installed and
operated only on a solid, flat and stable floor
that is able to support the weight of the
bandsaw and the operator. Using the
dimensions shown as a guideline, plan for
placement within your shop that will allow the
operator to work without interference by other
people or other tools or machinery.
Safety Zone
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple
operators, it is advisable to establish a Safety
Zone around shop machinery.
A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor
around each machine can help avoid
accidents that could cause injury to either the
operator or the shop visitor. It is advisable to take a few moments to either paint (using non-slip
paint) or using tape, define on the floor the limits or perimeter of each machines safety zone.
Take steps to ensure that all operators and shop visitors are
aware that these areas are off limits whenever a machine is
running for everyone, but the individual operating the unit.

BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE UNIT
Both the WBS-18-1.0 and WBS-22 Wood Cutting

Band saws are designed to accommodate blade
widths from 1/4" (6mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm). The 18"
model is supplied with a 3/4" (19mm) wide general
purpose blade and the 22" model has a 1" (25.4mm)
wide general purpose blade.
Note: Generally speaking, because the

upper wheel height is somewhat adjustable (to allow
for blade tensioning), a blade length variation of plus
or minus 1/2" (12.7mm) from the “ideal blade length”
can be accommodated.
The Maximum inboard width of cut (A) is 17-7/8" (454mm) for the WBS-18-1.0 and 21 5/8"
(549mm) for the WBS-22.
The maximum workpiece height (B) is 12" (305mm) for the 18” and 16" (406mm) for the 22”
saw.
An adjustable rip fence C is supplied to serve as a straightedge to guide the workpiece for
longer rip cuts and includes an auxiliary fence face for additional fence height to support taller
stock for re-sawing. The fence can easily be removed and set aside when not required, for
example when making curved cuts.

ELECTRICAL
CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY

A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN!
Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate.
WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected

to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if
any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
Power Specifications
Your tool is wired for 220 volts, 60Hz alternating current. Before connecting the tool to the power
source, make sure the machine is cut off from power source.
Before switching on the power, you must check the voltage and frequency of the power to see if
they meet with the requirement, the allowed range for the voltage is ±5%, and for the frequency
is ±1%.
Considerations
• Observe local electrical codes when connecting the machine.
• The circuit should be protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with a amperage
rating slightly higher than the full load current of machine.
• A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current
is of the same characteristics as indicated on the tool.
• All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the
motor.
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is

properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.
22
22
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
• Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

BLADE SELECTION
There are a variety of different types of bandsaw blades on the market to suit various cutting
applications. Your results may vary based on usage, experience and personal preference.
Ask your local tool dealer for suggestions for bandsaw blades in 1/4" to 1 1/4" widths, based on
what is available in your area.
Ideal blade length for WBS-18-1.0 is 153.5" (3900mm).
Ideal blade length for WBS-22 is 171.25” (4350mm).
Note: Generally speaking, because the upper wheel height is somewhat

adjustable (to allow for blade tensioning), a blade length variation of plus or minus 1/2"
(12.7mm) from the “ideal blade length” can be accommodated.
Some general guidelines to consider when choosing bandsaw blades:

• Wider blades with fewer teeth per inch are best suited to cutting straight lines, re-sawing and
for sweeping curves, but will not turn tight radius curves. They will cut quickly and
aggressively but do have a tendency to bind (or get stuck in the cut) if turned too sharply.
• Narrower, thinner blades with more teeth per inch will cut more slowly but can turn much
tighter corners for cutting more intricate work.
Common causes of blade breakage:

• Poor blade guide or support bearing alignment and adjustment.
• Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a short radius.
• Feeding the workpiece too quickly.
28
28
• Dull teeth.
• Too much blade tension.
• Setting blade guard assembly too high above the work-piece.
• Lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld on the blade.
• Continuous running of the blade when not cutting.
BLADE CLEARANCE
cord is unplugged.
When performing blade installation, removal, tensioning or tracking, maximum clearance

between the blade and both upper and lower blade guides/support bearing assemblies is
required to minimize friction, which would be damaging to the blade.
Upper Assembly:
1. Loosen the cap screw (A) on the
upper blade guides / support bearing
assembly shaft.
2. Then move the assembly along the
elongated hole in the shaft, going
back as far as possible for maximum
blade clearance.
3. Tighten the cap screw to lock the
assembly in place.
Lower Assembly:
1. Repeat with the lower blade guides /
support bearing assembly.

BLADE REMOVAL and INSTALLATION
cord is unplugged.
Blade Removal
WARNING: Saw blades are sharp. To prevent serious injury, wear a pair
of heavy duty work gloves or use a thick shop towel to handle the loose blade.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to coil up the blade as it was when you first
purchased it as it has a tendency to pop open unexpectedly and could cause injury.
1. Turn off the bandsaw and unplug the

power cord.
2. Release blade tension by turning the
blade tension adjustment handwheel
(A) counterclockwise.
3. Remove the insert, (B), from the
center of the table, and remove the
table alignment pin (C) from the table
slot.
4. Remove the rip fence, (D), then loosen

the lock knobs (E) and then slide the
front rail (F) to the left.
30
30
5. Open the lower and upper wheel
doors.
6. Carefully pull the blade from the side
slot (G), blade guard (H), and from the
wheels.
7. Carefully hang the blade on a hook in
a safe, dry place in your workshop if it
will be re-used, or dispose of safely if
it is worn or damaged.
Blade Installation
WARNING: Saw blades are sharp. To prevent serious injury, wear a pair
of heavy duty work gloves or use a thick shop towel to handle the loose blade.
CAUTION: Use care when handling the new blade as it may POP open
unexpectedly and could cause injury.
1. Turn off the bandsaw and unplug the power cord.

2. If you are installing a new blade, carefully remove the blade from its package.
3. Hold it firmly with one hand as remove the
ties or tape used to hold it into a coil.
4. Slowly separate the coils of the blade until it
unravels into one hoop.
5. To install the blade using the reverse order
from the Blade Removal instructions.
6. Verify that the blade is installed with the teeth
pointing forward (A) and down (B).
With the blade properly installed, proceed to blade tension adjustments on blade tracking
adjustments.
31
31
ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION
cord is unplugged.
Determining ideal blade tension is learned through practice and experience and is some-what
dependent on personal preference and individual work habits.
A properly tensioned blade is critical to obtaining maximum performance from any bandsaw. A
properly tensioned blade will last longer and be much less likely to break prematurely. If the
blade tension is too loose, the blade will tend to drift or slip off-line when cutting and you will
have more difficulty controlling your cuts. A blade that is tensioned too tightly will break
prematurely and will be difficult to work with when making tighter radius cuts.
Used the following as a guideline or starting point to assist you in determining ideal blade
tension for your needs:
• When working with wider blades, re-sawing taller stock, making straight cuts or wide
sweeping curves tighter blade
tensions will provide better results.
• When working with narrower blades,
sawing shorter stock and making
tighter curved cuts are best
performed using less tension.
This bandsaw is equipped with a blade

tension scale, which can be used as a
reference for the ideal setting with
various blade widths.
1. Using the blade tension scale (A), set

the blade tension to correspond with
the width of the blade installed on
your bandsaw.
2. Adjust the blade tensioning by turning
handwheel (B). Clockwise to tighten.
Counter-clockwise to loosen the
blade tension.
3. With the saw turned off, press against
the side of the blade (C) to test the
tautness of the blade.
32
32
1. For ideal results with most blade widths and cutting applications the blade should flex in no
more than 1/4" to 3/8".
2. Make a test cut on a sample piece of wood and if needed re-adjust the blade tension.
Note: To prolong the life of the blade whenever the bandsaw is not in use for
prolonged periods (more than 24 hours), loosen the blade tension handwheel to remove tension
from the blade. Over time, maintaining tension on a blade that is not in use will cause the blade
to deform, by taking the shape of the wheels at both extremities. This can weaken the blade and
cause premature breakage.
ADJUSTING BLADE TRACKING

Ideally, the blade should stay relatively centered (A) on both the upper and
lower wheels.
Due to natural variations in castings, blade thickness or density and tire

wear, absolute perfect centering alignment is rarely attainable. A slight
misalignment of the blade on the wheels is inevitable and as long as it is
kept to a minimum (following the steps listed below) will not hinder the
performance of the saw.
This misalignment is controlled and kept to a minimum primarily by adjusting

the tilt angle of the upper wheel.
When adjusting blade tracking to center the blade on the wheels and
assuming that perfect centering is not attainable, it is preferable to have the
blade slightly off-center towards the front of the wheels rather than towards
the rear because the teeth on most band saw blades have alternating hook
(one inner, one outer) – therefore if the blade is centered too far back on the
wheel (or if the blade tension is too tight), inner hooked teeth will dig into the
wheel tire and cause premature wear of the tire.
To avoid having the blade come off of the wheels on its own during
operation, the front edge of the blades teeth should never be any closer
than 1/16” (3mm) from the front edge of the wheel (B).
33
33
cord is unplugged.
1. Open the upper wheel cover door

then rotate the wheel slowly forward
by hand (A) and check (through the
window of the upper wheel) the
position of the blade on the wheel.
The blade should remain as centered
as possible on the wheel as it turns.
2. If the blade tracking must be

adjusted, loosen the jam nut (B) on
the tracking adjustment handwheel
using the supplied 14 mm open end
wrench, then turn the handwheel:
- Clockwise if the blade moves toward
the front of the wheel. This tilts the
top of the wheel to the back and
moves the blade toward the center.
- Counterclockwise if the blade moves
toward the back edge. This tilts the
top of the wheel to the front and
moves the blade toward the center.
Note: Turn the tracking handwheel in 1/2 turn increments, re-check and adjust
again as needed.
3. With the tracking set, tighten the jam nut (B).
34
34
Note: The upper and lower
wheels are factory set to allow for
easy and optimal blade tracking
adjustments using the primary blade
tracking adjustment handwheel, which
adjusts the angle of tilt of the upper
wheel. In extremely rare cases, if
acceptable blade tracking cannot be
attained through the primary
adjustment it may eventually become
necessary to make minor adjustments
to the angle of tilt of the lower wheel.
The four cap screws (C) may be
adjusted in or out to tilt the lower wheel up/down or left/right as needed.
ADJUSTING BLADE GUIDES AND THRUST BEARING
cord is unplugged.
The blade guide Bakelite blocks (A) and

bearings (B) keep the blade from moving
from side to side during cutting and must
be snug but not touching the blade in
order to ensure accurate cuts.
The thrust bearing (C) keeps the blade

from moving back and out of position
when the work is being fed into the blade
and must be very close to the back of the
blade to prevent damage to the blade
during cutting.
Note: Before adjusting the upper and lower blade guide assemblies, make sure
the blade is tensioned and tracking properly. Adjust the upper and lower blade guide assemblies
after each blade tension and tracking adjustment.
Whenever the upper guide bearings and thrust bearing are adjusted, the lower guide bearings
and thrust bearing should also be adjusted.
35
35
Positioning the Upper and Lower Blade Guide Thrust Bearing Assemblies
The upper/lower blade guides and thrust bearing are both assembled as one unit which can be
moved back or forward.
To prevent damage to the blade, the blade guide bearings must remain behind the blade teeth
during operation.
1. Loosen the cap screw on the upper

guide assembly shaft, (C).
2. Move the upper assembly forward
along the shaft until the blade guide
Bakelite blocks and bearings are at
least 1/32" (0.79mm) behind the
blade teeth. Do not move the bearing
into the hollowed part of the teeth of
the blade, (D).
3. Hold the upper assembly in position
and tighten the cap screw to secure
the upper assembly in position.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 with the lower
assembly.
36
36
Positioning the Upper/Lower Blade Guides
The space between each bearing and
the blade must not exceed 0.02" (the
thickness of a sheet of paper). If less
space is left, the blade will get stuck or
jammed between both bearings. Too
much friction will cause blade to over-
heat and break.
Adjust the positioning of the blade guides

as follows:
1. Loosen the two cap screws (A).
2. Adjust the left and right mounts (B)
that hold the Bakelite blocks (C) and
guide bearings (D) to obtain a space
of 0.02" (the thickness of a sheet of
paper) between the blade and blocks
and bearings.
Tip: Place a feeler gauge (E) or sheet of
paper between the blocks and bearings
and the blade to make sure there is a
0.02" space.
3. Tighten the two cap screws (A) to lock
the mounts in position.
blade guides.
37
37
POSITIONING THE UPPER/LOWER THRUST BEARING
The thrust bearings keep the blade from

moving back and out of position when
the work is being fed into the blade and
must be very close to the back of the
blade to prevent damage to the blade
during cutting.
Adjust the positioning of the upper and

lower thrust bearings as follows:
1. Loosen thumb screw (D).
2. Turn the adjustment knob (E) to move
the thrust bearing in or out, until the
bearing (F) almost touches the blade.
It should be 1/64" (0.39mm) behind
the back of the blade (G).
3. Tighten thumb screw (D) to lock the
thrust bearing in position.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE GUARD FOR DEPTH OF CUT
cord is unplugged.
The blade guard can be moved up or

down to accommodate the height of the
work to be cut (A).
To prevent the blade (which is flexible
and which would not otherwise be
supported) from slipping out of position
during cutting, and to reduce risks of
injuries, a minimum amount of blade
should be exposed.
The blade guard should be set 1/8” - 1/4”
(3 - 6mm) above the work-piece (B) to
prevent the blade from flexing out of
position or off-line during cutting.

It is recommended to use an appropriately sized dust collection system with your bandsaw.
A properly functioning dust collection system is an important safety tool which will greatly reduce
the amount of saw dust in the work area. This in turn provides greater visibility to the cut area,
reduces saw dust that may cause slips and trips, and reduces airborne dust that may be inhaled
to name a few.
For specific application and sizing needs contact the Sales Department at:
sales@baileighindustrial.com, Phone: 920.684.4990, or Fax: 920.684.3944.
This bandsaw is equipped with two 4" diameter

dust chutes to accommodate connection to a
dust collector (not included).
Be sure to use appropriate sized hose and
fittings (not included) and check that all
connections are sealed tightly to help minimize
airborne dust.
IMPORTANT:
Always turn on the dust collector before starting
the saw and always stop the saw before turning
off the dust collector.

CHECKLIST BEFORE STARTING
After completing the four adjustment steps which are an essential part of safe, accurate
bandsaw operation, use the following checklist to ensure that each adjustment to the bandsaw
is made in the proper order starting with the general safety precautions:
2. Adjust blade tension.
3. Adjust blade tracking.
4. Adjust upper blade guides and thrust bearing.
5. Adjust lower blade guides and thrust bearing.
These additional safety measures should be be included in your checklist:
6. Make sure all the blade guards are in place.

7. Make sure the bandsaw table and work area are clean and free of sawdust and debris.
These steps should always be followed when any adjustment is performed, the blade is
changed, or periodically as vibration and normal wear and tear on the machine could change
component alignment.
OPERATIONS STEP-BY-STEP
WARNING: To reduce the risk of damage to the bandsaw or the

workpiece, as well as potential for personal injury, after initial set-up as well as
before each use, make sure that everything is securely installed and that all fasteners
and moving parts on this bandsaw are locked in place before starting the machine.
WARNING: Make sure to have on safety glasses at all times when using
the bandsaw.
Make sure you are wearing safe appropriate workshop attire. Roll up long sleeves,
secure long hair and remove any jewelry: watches, rings, bracelets or anything that
could get stuck in the moving parts of the bandsaw, potentially causing serious
injuries.
1. Mark the cutting line on your workpiece with a pencil.
42
42
2. Measure the thickness of the workpiece and set the height of the blade guard according to
the thickness of your workpiece.
3. Position the workpiece on the table and simulate the cut. Use this to determine the
requirements of making a safe and accurate cut. Because each situation is different it is your
responsibility to make the final determination if all safety and accuracy considerations have
been made, however here is a partial list:
• Is the blade and blade speed correct?
• Are any tools such as push blocks, fence, or miter gauge within each reach and/or
properly installed?
• Is the workpiece properly supported (ie. roller stand)?
• Is there proper clearance for the workpiece feed through the entire cut?
• Is there clearance for drop off material?
4. Turn the safety lock-out switch to the “ON” position.
5. If a dust collector is connected to your bandsaw, turn it on.
6. Push the green “ON” button to start the bandsaw.
7. Align the cutting line on your workpiece with the blade and feed the workpiece into the blade.
STOP THE MACHINE

1. Push on the RED “STOP” button and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop.
2. Turn your dust collector off.
3. If the band saw will be unattended, turn OFF the safety lock-out switch and remove the key.
43
43
USING THE RIP FENCE
WARNING: Verify that the fence is locked in position before starting to

cut against the rip fence.
1. Set the fence down on the rail either to the left or right of the blade.
Note: For narrow workpieces that fit

between the frame of the saw and the blade (A),
position the fence at the left side of the blade. For
cutting longer or wider workpieces, position the
fence, on the right side of the saw blade.
2. Adjust the positioning of the fence on the rail so

that the distance from the inside face of the rip
fence to the blade matches the required width of
cut.
3. Lock down the fence locking handle (B).
USING THE MITER GAUGE
Using the miter gauge supplied with your

bandsaw allows for easier and safer sawing by
providing workpiece support when cutting
straight (90°) or angled ends (0° to 30°).
The miter gauge rides in either the left or right
table slot (A) and can be set to any angle up to
30° to the left or right.
To use a setting other than 90°, loosen the

locking handle (B) by turning it
counterclockwise. Rotate the miter head to the
required angle, shown on the angle indicator
(C). Then turn the locking handle (B) clockwise
to tighten it.
44
44
USING THE PUSH HANDLE
The push handle helps to reduce the risk of user

injury through contact with the blade. It acts as a
stock feeder allowing you to push the last few
inches of the board through the blade as shown,
while keeping hands at a safe distance away
from the blade.
CUTTING CURVES
1. When cutting curves, carefully turn the workpiece so the blade follows without twisting. If the
curve is so sharp that you repeatedly back up and cut new kerf, use a narrower blade, or a
blade with more set (teeth further apart). When a blade has more set, the workpiece turns
easier, but the cut is rougher.
2. When changing a cut, do not withdraw the workpiece from the blade. The blade may get
drawn off the wheels.
3. To change a cut, turn the workpiece and cut your way out through the waste material area.
4. When cutting long curves, make relief cuts as you go along.
CUTTING CIRCLES
1. Adjust the blade guard assembly to 1/8" (3mm) above the
workpiece.
2. Use both hands while feeding the work into the blade.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the table. Use gentle
pressure. Do not force the work. Allow the blade to cut.
3. The smallest diameter circle that can be cut is determined
by the width of the blade. For example, a 1/4" (6.3mm)
wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of approximately
1-1/2" (38.1mm).
45

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
WARNING: Before doing any lubrication or maintenance, make sure that

the power switch is in the “off” position and that the power cord is unplugged.
Periodic Maintenance
WARNING: Never operate the bandsaw with any damaged part. Replace a
damaged part at the first visible signs of damage.
1. Inspect/test the ON/OFF switch before each use. Do not operate the bandsaw with a
damaged switch; replace a damaged switch immediately.
2. Periodically inspect the power cord/plug and the blade for damage.
WARNING: To avoid eye injury from blowing debris, wear safety goggles
when blowing out sawdust.
3. Keep the machine clean and free of sawdust. Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust
and wipe down the machine occasionally with a damp rag.
Note: The wheels must always be kept clean. Dirt on the wheels will cause blade
slippage.
4. Do not allow dirt, pitch or gum to build up on the table, blade, guide/thrust bearings. Clean as
needed with gum and pitch remover.
Note: Do not immerse the bearings in the gum and pitch remover.
5. To prevent rust from forming on the unpainted cast iron of the table, and so that the wood
slides easily while cutting, apply a light coating of paste wax or use regular applications of
any after-market surface protectant or rust inhibitor.
46
46
Lubrication
Keep the rack and pinion (A), blade tension adjustment screw (B), as well as the table trunnion
(C), well-greased and free of dust or debris.
Clean and remove dust, debris, and old grease after every 10-15 hours of use. After cleaning,
reapply grease as needed. (Use any all-purpose grease.)
The motor and all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated – no further lubrication is
required. No other part of this bandsaw needs lubrication.

REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Before doing any maintenance or repair, make sure that the
power switch is in the “off” position and that the power cord is unplugged.
REPLACING THE BANDSAW BLADE
The blade should be replaced when worn out. Refer to the following symptoms to determine
whether or not it is time to replace the blade:
• It is not cutting as fast.

• It is not able to follow a cutting line as it used to.
REPLACING UPPER and LOWER BLADE GUIDES and THRUST BEARINGS
Blade guides and thrust bearings should be verified each time the blade is replaced. Check if
they turn well. If not, the blade will get stuck or jammed between them and will wear
prematurely.

2. Loosen and remove the two Phillips screws (A) and remove the two see-through guards.
3. Loosen thumb screw (C) and remove the blade guide and thrust bearing assembly from the
saw.
48
48
4. Loosen hex nut (D).
5. Using the supplied 3 mm Allen key, loosen and remove bolt (E).
6. Loosen and remove the cap screw (F) on both red mounts (G), then remove the two red
mounts.
7. Remove the thrust bearing and mounting shaft (H).
8. Loosen and remove the set screw (I) on both

left and right red mounts.
9. Install new bearings in the red mounts then
tighten the set screw to secure the new
bearings in place.
10. To remove the thrust bearing from its shaft,
(J), use a retaining ring plier, (K), to remove
the retaining ring (L), and then slide the thrust
bearing off the shaft.
11. Install a new bearing on the shaft then install the WBS-18-1.0 WBS-22
retaining ring.
12. Repeat steps 1 to 7 in reverse order to install
the blade guide and thrust bearing assembly.
13. Repeat steps 1 to 12 with the lower blade
guide and thrust bearing.
49
49
REPLACING THE WHEEL TIRE
Wheel tires must be replaced if they get worn out or damaged. If it is worn out, the blade will not
track straight on the wheels.
1. Turn off the bandsaw and unplug the power

cord.
2. Remove the saw blade. See Blade Removal.
3. Use a flat screwdriver to remove the tire from
the groove on the wheel.
4. Then install a new tire making sure it seats
into the groove on the wheel.
Note: When replacing the tires, stretch them around the wheels but do not glue
them on.
5. Install the saw blade. See Blade Installation.
LOWERING WHEEL BRUSH
The lower wheel is equipped with a cleaning brush that prevents pitch and sawdust build up on
the lower tire. Any pitch and sawdust that builds up on the upper wheel tire should be removed
with a stiff brush or scraped off with a piece of wood.
Note: To avoid damaging the tire do not use a sharp knife or any kind of solvent to
remove pitch build up.
Verify that the brush keeps the lower wheel tire

surface clean at all times. With use and normal
wear over time, the brush hairs will soften and
will not clean the surface of the wheel as well.
You then must lower the brush slightly.
1. Turn off the bandsaw and unplug the power

cord.
2. Loosen the 2 screws (A) and slide the brush
down along the mounting holes, so that a
fresh, stiffer part of the hairs touches the wheel tire.
3. Hold the brush in position and tighten the 2 screws (A) to lock the brush in position.
50

REPLACING LOWER WHEEL MOTOR BELT(S)
Note: The lower wheel on WBS-18-1.0 is driven by one

belt while the lower wheel on WBS-22 is driven by two belts
The lower wheel is driven by belt(s) mounted on a pulley powered by the

motor. The belt(s) tension should be verified upon reception of the
machine, then every 6 months.

2. Push on the belt(s) with your finger. The belt(s) must not move more
than 1/8". If the belt(s) becomes too loose due to wear or if a
breakage occurs, you must replace it (them).
3. Loosen (but do not remove) the nut (A)
located beside the motor plate as well as the
ratchet lever (B, WBS-18-1.0) or bolt (C,
WBS-22). This will loosen the motor belt(s).
4. Loosen the bolt (D) located in the middle of
the lower wheel, using the supplied 14 mm
open end wrench, then remove the wheel.
5. Install the new belt(s) on the pulleys.
6. Install the wheel.
7. Tighten ratchet lever (B, WBS-18-1.0) or bolt
(C, WBS-22) and nut (A) to tighten the motor
belt(s). WBS-18-1.0 WBS-22
