tool off and remove battery pack before making any adjustments
or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental

TO REMOVE BLADE (FIG. 2, 3}
1. Rotate the blade tension lever (H) clockwise until it stops to
release tension in blade.
2. Turn the saw over and place it on a workbench or table with the
motor to the left.
3. Begin removing the blade at the blade guard (L) and continue
around the pulleys (K). When removing the blade, tension may
be released and the blade may spring free. SAW BLADES ARE
SHARR USE CARE IN HANDLING THEM.
4. Inspect the guide rollers (F1, F2) and remove any large chips which
may be lodged in them. Lodged chips can prevent rotation of the
guide rollers and cause flat spots on the guide rollers.
5. Rubber tires (M) are mounted on the pulleys (K). The rubber tires
should be inspected for looseness or damage when changing the
blade. Wipe any chips from the rubber tires on the pulleys. This will
extend tire life and keep the blade from slipping. If any looseness
or damage occurs, the tool should be brought to an authorized
DEWALT service center for repair or replacement as soon as
possible. Continued use of the tool with loose or damaged rubber
tires will cause unstable travel of the band saw blade.
