-24- 24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws
Blade Changes
To remove the blade:
1. After making sure the bandsaw is
unplugged, release the tension on the blade
by turning the tension control knob counter-
clockwise.
2. Adjust the upper and lower guide blocks
away from the blade.
3. Put on leather gloves to protect your hands
from the sharp teeth of the blade.
4. Open the upper and lower wheel covers and
slide the blade off both wheels. Use cau-
tion—the blades are sharp!
Wear gloves and safety goggles when han-
dling blades. Coiled blades spring open as
they are uncoiled and could cause deep
cuts or lacerations.
Always disconnect
power to the machine
when changing blades.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
To replace the blade:
1. 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 in any ori-
entation, the blade is inside-out. Put on
heavy gloves, remove the blade, and twist it
rightside-out.
2. Slip the blade through the upper and lower
guides, and mount it over the upper and
lower wheels so the blade teeth are over the
edge of the wheels.
3. Apply tension, then check and adjust track-
ing.
4. Adjust the upper and lower guide blocks and
support bearings.
5. Close and latch the wheel covers.
