Changing Blades
In the event that you need to change blades or
remove the current blade for cleaning purposes,
follow the instructions below:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source!
2. Remove the force plate from the end of the
table.
3. Slide the table off the rollers and remove it
from the bandsaw unit.
4. Remove the stainless steel blade covers.
5. Move the blade guides away from the blade,
so the blade can easily slide out and away
from the blade guide assembly.
6. Remove the V-belt.
7. Release the tension from the blade by turn-
ing the blade tension bolt counterclockwise.
8. Remove the thumbscrew that holds the
upper cover in place, then pull the upper
cover off of the bandsaw unit.
9. Put on a pair of leather gloves to protect your
hands from the sharp edges of the blade.
Carefully remove the blade as shown in
Figure 37.
Figure 37. Removing the bandsaw blade.
Figure 36. Blade tracking controls.
The bandsaw blade must be properly tracked (or
centered) on the wheels.
To track the blade:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source!
2. Remove the upper wheel cover from the
bandsaw.
3. The blade tracking controls are shown in
Figure 36. Each setscrew moves that por-
tion of the wheel in or out. For example, the
top setscrew controls the top of the wheel,
the left setscrew controls the left of the wheel
and so forth.
3. Adjust the tracking setscrews so that the
blade remains in the center of the wheel
when you spin the wheel by hand. After the
blade appears to be tracking correctly, spin
the wheel at least three full times to ensure
that the blade remains centered, and then
replace the upper wheel cover, turn on the
machine and test the blade tracking. If there
are problems, repeat steps 1-3.
