REMOVING BLADE (Fig. E, F)
Disconnect band saw from power source when changing or
adjusting blades. Wear leather gloves when handling band
saw blades. Never wear gloves when operating saw.
1. Turn blade tensioning lever (1) on the back of the tool
clockwise all the way until it locks in position to release
blade tension (see Figure E).
2. Release two latches (2) on the side of the tool and
open front door.
NOTE: When opening door, make sure latches are
completely free from tabs on frame and that angle scale
pointer is turned down away from door. Be careful to ensure
door does not contact table insert wing screw.
3. Remove table locking insert (Fig. F, 5) located in the front
of the table slot, take out the released blade and replace
with another blade.
INSTALLING BLADE (Fig. F)
1. Although most of the adjustments are not changed when
blade is removed, every adjustment should be checked
prior to using a newly installed blade.
2. Make sure blade teeth are pointing down towards table.
Turn blade inside out if necessary.
3. Slip new blade into table slot (1) and over the upper,
lower and idler blade wheels. Slide blade in between
blade guards.
4. Tension blade (see Figure E) by turning blade tensioning
lever (1) counterclockwise, as far as it will go. This is a
spring loaded, tensioning mechanism and it will
automatically apply required tension to the blade.
5. Close the front door and fasten latches.
NOTE: When closing door, make sure that the edges of the
door and frame are firmly fitted together before attempting
to secure door. This is necessary for proper operation of dust
collection system. The latches will not pull the door and frame
together.
6. Install table insert (5).
7. Track blade as described in the following sections.
To avoid injury, the blade tension, tracking, and upper and
lower guides and bearings must be properly adjusted before
operating the band saw. (See Adjustment Instructions, this
section)
MITER GAUGE (Fig. G)
A miter gauge (1) is supplied with your band saw to be used
in the table slot (2) on the right side of the blade. The miter
gauge can be tilted 0° to 60° right or left to maintain an
accurate angle for your workpiece.
