CAUTION! Wear gloves when handling the saw blade during
installation or removal to avoid cuts from the blade's teeth.
1.
Use band saw blades of the correction dimension (see
Specifications).
2.
Select a blade that will allow at least two teeth to engage the
material.
2.1 Harder materials require finer blade teeth, while thicker or
coarse materials require coarser blade teeth.
2.2 Hi-speed steel blades stay sharp longer than alloy steel
blades.
3.
Turn the tension handle (A) clockwise to release the blade tension.
4.
Turn the band saw over so the rear side is facing up.
5.
Remove the old blade if replacing it. Remove the blade from the
pulley before removing it from the guides.
6.
Note the direction arrows on the wheels. Install the saw blade so the
teeth point to the left side (clockwise) when passing through the guide
bearings (K).
7.
Set the blade between both guide bearings, ensuring the blade is
centered on each. Hold the blade on the guides and push in to
seat it.
8.
Wrap the blade around the wheels. Ensure it is a proper fit and the
blade does not twist.
9.
Tighten the tension handle (A) to secure the blade in place.
GUIDE BAR ASSEMBLY
1.
Attach the guide bar (H) to the band saw
before operation.
2.
Release the screws (J) on the frame.
3.
Install the guide bar with the opening around
the blade. Adjust the guide bar distance as
desired.
4.
Tighten the screws (J) to lock the guide in
place.
