WARNING:

Failure to turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE BLADE

See Figures 16 and 17.

WARNING:

Failure to turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields to protect your eyes while uncoiling band saw blades. Failure to heed this warning could result in a serious eye injury.

￿Loosen and remove the wing nut and table aligning bolt from the saw table. See Figure 16.

￿Open the front cover by releasing the upper and lower latches.

￿Loosen the two set screws that hold the blade guard in place using the 4 mm hex key provided then remove the blade guard. See Figure 16.

￿Turn the lock knob counterclockwise to unlock the blade guide assembly. Turning the blade guide knob (clockwise raises the blade guide assembly; counterclockwise lowers it), position the blade guide assembly about halfway between the saw table and saw housing. Retighten the lock knob.

￿Release blade tension by pushing the RapidSet™blade tension lever to the left. See Figure 17.

￿Carefully remove the old blade.

￿Wearing gloves, carefully uncoil the blade at arms length. If the new blade was oiled to prevent rusting, it may need to be wiped to keep the oil from your workpiece. Carefully wipe in the same direction the teeth are pointing so the rag does not catch on the teeth of the saw blade.

NOTE: The blade may need to be turned inside out if the teeth are pointing in the wrong direction. Hold the blade with both hands and rotate it inward.

￿With the teeth of the blade toward the front of the saw and facing downward, place the blade through the lower blade guides and around the lower wheel. Pull down on the upper wheel to place the saw blade on the wheel.
