Replacing the blade
Note: Always use a saw blade that is compatible with the type of material being cut, for most
effective and efficient cutting.
Note: The blade length for this bandsaw is 1425mm (56 1⁄ 4 ").
1. Unscrew the Upper Cover Knob (2) and Lower Cover Knob (7) of the hinged housing cover to
reveal the internal bandsaw mechanism (Fig. IX).
2. Loosen the Blade Guard Adjusting Knob (14) and position the Blade Guard (3) halfway above the
table. Tighten the Blade Guard Adjusting Knob.
3. Loosen the two Blade guard mounting screws (Fig. X) with a Hex Key (22) and remove the Blade
Guard.
4. Remove the Table Aligning Screw (6) from the Work Table (15) (Fig. I).
5. Turn the Blade Tension Adjustment Knob (12) anti-clockwise to release Blade tension and remove
the old Blade (5).
6. Slide the old Blade off the upper and lower Blade wheels, and through the table slot.
7. Guide the new Blade through the Blade slot (Fig. III) and on to the Blade wheels. Ensure that the
Blade is pointing outwards, with the teeth facing downwards (Fig. XI).
8. Centre the Blade on the soft, non-slip surface of the upper and lower Blade wheels, see 'Blade
tracking' for detailed instructions on Blade alignment.
9. Rotate the wheels clockwise to help guide and centre the Blade on the Blade wheels.
Replacing the table insert

• To remove the table insert, remove the Phillips head screw securing the table insert to the Work
Table (15). Then remove and replace.
Wheel brush
• The wheel brush is located inside the housing (Fig. XV) and helps keep the Blade (5) and the
wheel free of sawdust and wood chips.
• To adjust, loosen the screw and position the wheel brush so that it contacts the bristles of the
brush.
• Retighten the screw.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should be
carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre. This advice also applies to extension cords
used with this tool.
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and
shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth.
If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes.
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol, petrol or
strong cleaning agents.
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
