Blade Changes

To replace the blade, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Release the tension lever.

3.Remove the table insert and the table pin. Adjust the upper and lower guide blocks away from the blade.

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

5.Rotate the blade 90˚ and slide it through the slot in the table.

6.Slide the new blade through the table slot, ensuring that the teeth are pointing down toward the table.

If the teeth will not point downward in any orienta- tion, the blade is inside-out. Put on heavy gloves, remove the blade, and twist it rightside-out.

7.Slip the blade through the guides, and mount it over the upper and lower wheels.

8.Apply tension.

9.Turn the tension knob until proper blade tension has been reached according to the blade thickness scale shown in Figure 47.

10.Check and adjust the tracking (Page 17).

11.Adjust the upper/lower guide blocks and the support bearings (Pages 20 and 21).

12.Close the wheel covers.

13.Replace the table insert and table pin, being sure not to use excessive force when inserting the table pin.

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

All saw blades are dangerous and may cause personal injury. To reduce the risk of being injured, wear leather gloves when handling saw blades.
