Replace the blade (Fig. 13)

!WARNING Blade teeth are sharp. Use care when handling a band saw blade.

It is possible to replace the blade with the table in place, however, it may be easier to remove the table before replacing the blade. If you do not remove the table, remove the plastic table inset and pull the table extension out so that it does not block the slot in the table before removing or installing the blade.

1.Loosen the fence clamp and remove the fence from the table.

2.Pull on the upper and lower door latches to open the wheel cover door.

3.Move the blade tension adjustment quick release handle (1) clockwise to lower the upper wheel and reduce tension on the blade.

4.Remove the old blade (2). Slide the blade out and away from the upper and lower blade guides (3) (and through the slot in the table if you did not remove it).

5.Put the new blade in position around the upper and lower wheels and between the upper and lower blade guides (3).

6.Center the blade on the upper and lower wheels. Turn the upper wheel slowly to check the position of the blade.

7.Move the blade tension adjustment quick release handle (1) counterclockwise to increase the tension on the blade.

8.Make sure the blade is still centered on the upper and

lower wheels and that it moves freely through the blade guides.

9.The blade must be adjusted properly before operating the saw:

a. See Blade tension adjustment (page 11).

b. See Blade tracking adjustment (page 11).

c. See Blade guide adjustment (page 12).

Blade guide adjustment

The upper and lower blade guides and support bearings (located above and below the table) keep the blade moving in a straight line during operation. These guides must be checked and adjusted before each use and after changing the blade.

Note: Make sure the blade tension and tracking are properly adjusted before adjusting the upper and lower blade guides.

Adjust the upper blade guide (Fig. 14–16)

1.Make sure the upper blade guide assembly (1) is at right-angles to the blade (2). If not:

a. Loosen the screw (3) and rotate the assembly until it is perpendicular to the blade.

b. Tighten the screw (3).

2.Loosen the support bearing screw (4) and move the support bearing (5) forward or backward until the

bearing is 1/32" (0.8 mm) behind the blade. Tighten the screw (4).

3.Loosen the left and right blade guide screws (6) and move the guides (7) as close to the blade as possible without pinching it. Using a feeler gauge (not provided), make sure the space between each guide and the blade measures 0.02" (0.5 mm). Tighten the screws (6).
