Blade Change

Blades should be changed when they become dull, damaged, or when you are using materials that require a blade with a certain type or tooth count.

To change the blade on the bandsaw:

1.UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!

2.Raise the head of the bandsaw to the vertical position and remove the wheel access cover.

3.Loosen the tension knob and slip the blade off of the wheels.

Figure 42. Installing blade.

4.Install the new blade through both blade guide bearings as shown in Figure 42 and around the bottom wheel.

5.Hold the blade around the bottom wheel with one hand and slip it around the top wheel with the other hand, keeping the blade between the blade guide bearings.

Note: It is sometimes possible to flip the blade inside out, in which case the blade will be installed in the wrong direction. Check to make sure the blade teeth are facing toward the workpiece, as shown in Figure 43, after mounting to the bandsaw. Some blades will have a directional arrow as a guide.

6.When the blade is around both wheels, adjust the position so the back of the blade is against the shoulder of the wheels (see Figure 44).

7.Tighten the tension knob in so the blade will not slip on the wheels on start up.

8.Connect the bandsaw to the power source.

9.Briefly turn the bandsaw ON then OFF to position the blade and resume the previous tracking.

—If the tracking needs to be adjusted, see Tracking in the next section.

—If the tracking is fine, proceed to Blade Tension on Page 32.
