Blade Changes

Always disconnect power to the machine when changing blades. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury.

To remove the blade:

1.Disconnect power to the bandsaw!

2.Release the tension on the blade by turning the tension control knob counterclockwise.

3.Remove the upper guide assembly from the support bar by loosening the hex bolt shown in Figure 25.

4.Adjust the lower guide bearings away from the blade.

5.Put on leather gloves to protect your hands from the sharp teeth of the blade.

Caution—the blades are sharp!

6. Open the upper and lower wheel covers and slide the blade off both wheels.

Figure 25. Loosen this bolt to remove assembly.

Wear gloves and safety goggles when han- dling blades. Coiled blades spring open as they are uncoiled and could cause deep cuts or lacerations.

To replace the blade:

1.Put on leather gloves to protect your hands from the sharp teeth of the blade.

2.Slide the blade through the table slot, ensur- ing that the teeth are pointing down toward the table.

If the teeth will not point downward on the right hand side, the blade is inside-out. Remove the blade, and twist it right side-out.

3.Slip the blade through the lower guides, and mount it over the upper and lower wheels so the blade is centered on the wheels.

4.Mount the upper guides by sliding the blade between the guide bearings and then guide the bearing bracket onto the guide post. Use care when aligning the guide assembly so that it does not twist the blade.

5.Apply tension, then check and adjust track- ing as described in the section titled Blade Tracking.

6.Adjust the upper and lower guide blocks and support bearings.

7.Close and latch the wheel covers.
