Buffalo Tools IW12BX Replacing or Adjusting the Saw Blade, Removing the Blade Cover

Replacing or Adjusting the Saw Blade

Make sure the machine is unplugged from a power source before replacing or adjusting the saw blade.

To prevent serious injury, wear heavy-duty work gloves when working with or around the saw blade.

Remove the Table

Before attempting to remove or replace the blade, the stainless steel table must be removed. To do this, remove the socket screws which attach the Table Support (D) to the table. Then, from the left side of the table, pull the table back and off. Once removed, place the table on a flat surface away from the machine to prevent damage while working with the blade. (Figure 3)

Removing the Blade Cover

Remove the socket screws on the side and back of the Cover (E) (Figure 4). Once removed, the cover will slip up and off, exposing the Drive Wheel and saw blade.

Then remove the Blade Guard (F) and Upper Guard Plate (G) (Figure 5). NOTE: For best results, stand to the left front of the table while performing the following steps.

Turning the nut (H) counterclockwise lowers and decreases tension on the Drive Wheel (I) allowing you to adjust the alignment of the blade or to replace the blade entirely. (Figure 6)

To center the blade on the wheel, loosen the two nuts (J) until the blade centers onto the Drive Wheel, and then retighten the nuts. Turning the wheel by hand makes moving the blade easier. Adjust the socket screw (K) to increase or decrease the angle on the Drive Wheel, helping center the blade on the wheel.

Once the top part of the blade is set, the bottom will need adjustment. First, loosen the two socket screws to adjust the Guide Plates (L), making sure there is at least 1/32" space between the edges of the guide plates and saw blade (M) (Figure 7).
